Jamie Foxx is making his return to TV comedy this month on Netflix. In Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!, Foxx will star in his first sitcom since The Jamie Foxx Show ended back in 2001. Here's what the new show is all about.
Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!: Jamie Foxx's new Netflix series
Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! is a Netflix Original series premiering worldwide on April 14. Foxx stars in the show as single dad "Brian" whose life is turned upside down when his teenage daughter "Sasha" moves in with him.
Netflix writes, "A single dad and cosmetics brand owner figures out fatherhood on the fly when his strong-minded teen daughter moves in with him." Here's the trailer, with some pretty solid jokes.
Joining Foxx in the cast are actress Kyla-Drew as his daughter "Sasha," David Alan Grier as his elderly father, and Porscha Coleman as his sister. Behind the camera, Foxx is also reunited with his Jamie Foxx Show collaborator Bentley Kyle Evans, while Ken Whittingham (black-ish) directs.
