HBO is plotting a new limited series DTF St. Louis, and its cast is shaping up to be pretty amazing. Jason Bateman and David Harbour will lead this dark comedy about a love triangle between three individuals going through a midlife crisis.
This project has been in development since 2022, and it was originally based on James Lasdun’s New Yorker article “My Dentist’s Murder Trial: Adultery, False Identities, and a Lethal Sedation”, but it went through a creative overhaul in the meantime and now has no connection to the original idea.
HBO’s original logline describes it as “a darkly comedic limited series about a love triangle between three adults experiencing middle-age malaise, that leads to one of them ending up dead.” Steven Conrad serves as its creator, writer, director, showrunner, and one of the executive producers, alongside Bateman and Harbour.
Jason Bateman is the Emmy-winning star of the Netflix crime drama Ozark, whose notable TV credits include Arrested Development and The Outsider. He’ll next be seen in Netflix’s limited series Black Rabbit opposite Jude Law.
As for Harbour, he’s best known as the star of Netflix’s sci-fi series Stranger Things, which earned him two Emmys and one Golden Globe nomination. He’s set to appear in Marvel’s upcoming film Thunderbolts, reprising his role from Black Widow.
