Pop has today given a series order to the original comedy series Best Intentions created by Adam Herz (American Pie). The first season will consist of eight episodes, which will debut in 2020.
The comedy centers on a single father who works as a guidance counselor at the high school his teenage son attends.
David Fynn, Daniel Rashid and Lindsey Gort start in the series, with Sarah Levy, Natalie Ganzhorn and Benjamin Ayres appearing as guest stars.
Adam Herz wrote the pilot, which was directed by Steve Pink. They executive produce with Barry Jossen, Ben Silverman, Howard T. Owens and Jay Weisleder. A+E Studios and Propagate Content produce.
"Adam Herz made one of the definitive comedy franchises of the 1990s and 2000s with American Pie, and Best Intentions brings together the perfect cast to deliver more of his audacious sense of humor, which is grounded with loads of heart," said Justin Rosenblatt, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, Pop. "With a mix of character and premise-driven comedy, this parallel father-son coming-of-age story feels like a timeless classic that fits perfectly with our current slate."
