Jamie Foxx Returns with Multi-Camera Sitcom; Mythic Quest Season 2 Launches in May

Dad Stop Embarrassing Me — a new multi-camera Netflix sitcom starring Jamie Foxx as Brian Dixon, inspired by his relationship with daughter Corinne (who produces alongside Foxx and Alex Avant) — will co-star David Alan Grier and Kyla-Drew. Also appearing are Heather Hemmens, Jonathan Kite, Porscha Coleman, and Valente Rodriguez (George Lopez). The sitcom drops April 14 with 8 half-hour episodes only on Netflix. Bentley Kyle Evans (Martin, The Jamie Foxx Show) serves as showrunner. Jamie Foxx of course got his sitcom start on Fox's Roc and in the sketch comedy In Living Color before landing his own sitcom titled The Jamie Foxx Show on The WB. Foxx then went on to become a big movie star. Recently, Foxx appeared as George Jefferson in Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear's All in the Family and The Jeffersons on ABC in 2019.

Meanwhile, C.W. (F. Murray Abraham) reconciles some unresolved issues from his past, the testers (Ashly Burch and Imani Hakim) test the bounds of an office romance, and David (David Hornsby) loses yet another woman in his life as Jo (Jessie Ennis) leaves him to assist Brad (Danny Pudi).
