It was then picked by TBS in May of 2019, with its first season showing in 2021, which debuted as the best written cable program of the year with a total of 1.9 million viewers for the pilot episode.
“I thought it would be really cool to tell a story about coming of age where the teen at heart plays an adult who shares the joke, and at a distance from that terrifying time,” Pedrad Tell Entertainment Weekly‘s winner Last year’s podcast. “Maybe you can push the comedy a lot further…the funny moments become funnier and less sad because you’re not sitting there watching an Iranian kid.”
