Ted Danson joins an untitled half‑hour comedy slated for Apple TV, with Elizabeth Banks as creator and star. The LA‑based show will film this year, pairing Danson with Rob Delaney. Banks, known for *The Hunger Games* and *Love & Mercy*, leads a project that blends family drama and humor. The move signals Apple’s push to attract veteran talent in 2027.

Danson portrays Heidi’s father, a role that echoes his work on *A Man on the Inside*. The series, written by Liz Heldens and Matt Ward, follows Heidi—played by Banks—as she navigates post‑divorce life while coordinating her father’s retirement community dating. Delaney’s character, a perpetually single son, joins the unlikely alliance, adding sharp wit to the storyline for viewers and critics.

Production is set to begin this summer in Los Angeles, with a 2027 debut anticipated. Apple TV, priced at $12.99 per month, already hosts titles like *Severance* and *The Studio*. The addition of Danson and Banks underscores the platform’s strategy to blend seasoned stars with fresh comedy, aiming to broaden its subscriber base amid stiff streaming competition for viewers and industry.
