Rob Lowe To Star in Netflix Comedy 'Unstable' With His Son
The series is inspired by John Owen’s comical social media relationship with his father.
Rob Lowe and his son, John Owen Lowe, are set to star in an upcoming Netflix comedy series titled Unstable.
The show, which was co-created by the Lowes and Santa Clarita Diet showrunner Victor Fresco, will follow an introverted son (John Owen Lowe) who must work for his highly-successful, free-spirited father (Rob Lowe) at a leading biotech firm in order to save him from a catastrophe. Netflix says that the series is inspired by John Owen’s punchy relationship with his father on social media.
“We are very excited to be working with Victor, Rob and John Owen,” said Tracey Pakosta, Netflix’s head of comedy, in a statement. “The three of them — and their wildly funny, smart sensibilities — are a perfect fit for our growing slate of scripted comedies.”
John Owen Lowe has previously acted alongside his father in Fox’s The Grinder and Netflix’s Holiday in the Wild. Additionally, he worked as a story editor on 9-1-1: Lone Star and recently completed production on Rory Karpf’s Grace Point. Meanwhile, Rob Lowe, who previously starred in Parks and Recreation, is currently leading the aforementioned 9-1-1 spinoff series.
Stay tuned for more updates on the father-son duo’s forthcoming comedy series.
Elsewhere on the streamer, Netflix has actually added a “short ass movies” category after Pete Davidson and Gunna’s SNL skit.
