Grace & Frankie creator Marta Kauffman is finally plotting her next series with Amazon MGM Studios, and this project just found its leads. June Diane Raphael and Paul Scheer will lead the pilot for DINKS, described as an improvisational style multi-cam comedy.
DINKS stands short for “Dual Income No Kids”, and it will center on the couple Josh (Scheer) and Charlie (Raphael). They decided to build a life together despite not being married or having kids and pour their energy into renovating their nightmare of a dream house.
Marta Kauffman serves as writer and showrunner of the project, which she’s also executive producing through her Okay Goodnight banner, alongside Amazon MGM Studios and Lionsgate Television. She co-wrote the pilot with Hannah K.S. Canter, while Alex Fernie is on board as a director.
DINKS will reunite Kauffman with Raphael, who’ll also serve as one of the EPs. She was one of the series regulars on Grace & Frankie, which ran on Netflix for seven seasons. We’ve recently seen her play guest roles in Based on a True Story, Abbott Elementary, and The Morning Show.
Paul Scheer is Raphael’s husband and long-time collaborator, best known as the star of comedy shows The League, Veep, and Fresh Off the Boat. He’ll also be credited as an executive producer.
