Actors Henry Hall and Daniel Thrasher looked back at their favorite moments from working on the show Dinner with the Parents.
Dinner with the Parents is a new sitcom that follows the two twenty-something Langer brothers (Hall and Thrasher) who attend weekly dinners at their parents’ house; each gathering is sure to be chaotic and disastrous by nature.
Hall, the son of Brad Hall and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, overviewed his role in the show for uInterview founder Erik Meers, “I play David Langer, the eldest of the Langer siblings, and every Friday night I come home for… Shabbat dinner with my ‘lovely’ family, and I walk in the front door hoping that everything is going to be normal; I’ll be asked how I’m doing, I’ll ask how they’re doing, and we’ll sit down and have an orderly and nice dinner.

Actors Michaela Watkins and Dan Bakkedahl reminisce about the filming of their new show Dinner with the Parents in their new uInterview.
Dinner with the Parents follows the escapades of two Langer brothers in their twenties who regularly attend dinner at their parents’ house – the family gathers every week for dinner, only to find themselves filled with remorse afterward. The show amusingly portrays their weekly family gatherings’ chaotic and disastrous nature.
“Dan makes me spit-take, genuinely,” Watkins told uInterview founder Erik Meers. “I just don’t see it coming, and he knocks me sideways with comedy. I mean, I laugh a lot. I was watching the episodes, and I was going, ‘Okay, it’s not just me.’ My husband and I were just cracking up.”
She told Bakkedahl, “I remember the episodes where you had the hot wings, and you’re not feeling well and sweating, and you’re about to throw up.

American TV bosses obviously didn’t learn many lessons from “Episodes,” the Showtime/BBC co-production which brilliantly skewered the habit of adapting British sitcoms, and removing all nuances, subtleties, and idiosyncrasies in the process. In the 13 years since its premiere, there’s been numerous failed pilots (“Spy”), ratings disasters (“Free Agents”), and entire series considered unfit for public consumption (“Us and Them”) which originated across the pond. Now the most singular UK comedy of the 2010s is going transatlantic.
The BAFTA-nominated “Friday Night Dinner” — which served up 37 episodes from 2011-2020 —stemmed from creator Robert Popper’s real-life secular Jewish family and their weekly Shabbat meals, explaining why everything from its suburban London home to its lovable oddballs feels so wonderfully specific. Disappointingly, Amazon Freevee’s “Dinner with the Parents” is as generic as its title.
The 10-part series on Freevee does attempt to retain some of the original’s quirks.

Comedy icon Carol Kane reflected on her experience on her new TV show Dinner With The Parents in her new uInterview.
Kane gained recognition as an actress in the 1975 film Hester Street, for which she received an Academy Award nomination for best actress. In the 1970s and ’80s, she appeared in acclaimed films like Dog Day Afternoon and Annie Hall. In the early 1980s, she also appeared on the television series Taxi, acting as a comedic actress for the first time.
Dinner With The Parents is a single-camera comedy series about two 20-something brothers and their awkwardly hilarious weekly dinners at their parents’ house.
“I just think the family dynamic is so fun and so crazy, not any crazier than most families probably, but we just get to play so much, and this character is fantastic, and I got to wear such great clothes,” Kane told uInterview founder Erik Meers.

Exclusive: Gina Lyons, a producer on the pilot of Dreaming Whilst Black and Amazon Freevee’s upcoming Dinner with the Parents, has launched a comedy indie to amplify working class, female voices.
Gobby Girl Productions recently closed finance on a £1.3M ($1.6M) British feature film starring big talent that will roll cameras in June. The company is also nearing greenlight on two shows for UK broadcasters.
Lyons has been a freelance producer for several years and launched the outfit as a vehicle for her shows after seeing the inequality faced by working-class women in the industry. The indie’s website points to recent research which found that 40% of Brits nominated for key awards at the Oscars, BAFTAs and Mercury prize over the past decade went to private school, while only 6% of the British population are privately educated.

Gobby Girl will therefore focus on amplifying these voices and has already got the ball rolling.

Almost everyone knows what it’s like, the concept of Dinner with the Parents, but Amazon Freevee is taking the idea and raising it a few notches for this chaotically hilarious new comedy arriving April 18. In an exclusive first look at the series, the trailer, above, offers a glimpse into the Friday night gatherings of the closely-knit Langer family made up of mom Jane (Michaela Watkins), dad Harvey (Dan Bakkedahl), nana Rose (Carol Kane), and sons David (Henry Hall) and Gregg (Daniel Thrasher). “This show is so much fun to make because we get to push the limits of what a family comedy can be — how flawed the characters, how fast the pace, how far things escalate,” series showrunner and executive producer Jon Beckerman tells TV Insider. “We’re hoping that, when people watch it, they’ll think, ‘This family is bonkers.

He joins later this year.
“Joining Wayne and the team at Spt is an opportunity that dreams are made of,” said Justice. “The Spt labels are outstanding, so it is a rare honor to get to work with them and the people behind them.
