Kevin Kline’s Hilarious Comeback: Is ‘American Classic’ the Show We’ve Been Waiting For?
I’m thrilled to be a part of the team backing “American Classic,” a series that boasts the talented minds of Michael Hoffman and Bob Martin behind its creation. Michael is known for films like “Soapdish,” “Restoration,” and “The Last Station,” while Bob Martin has made his mark in the comedy world with the underrated masterpiece, “Slings and Arrows.”
Production-wise, Fifth Season serves as our studio, collaborating with Mar-Key Pictures, Likely Story, and Anonymous Content. This promising series will premiere with eight episodes, setting the stage for an engaging viewing experience.
The esteemed Kevin Kline, who won an Academy Award for his role in “A Fish Called Wanda,” has been cast as Richard Bean, and Jon Tenney, known for his work on “The Closer” and “Scandal,” will play Jon Bean alongside him. Michael Hoffman himself will be directing the pilot episode.
In a nutshell, the story follows Richard Bean, a renowned theater director who is forced to revisit his past when he inherits a classic summer theater from an estranged family member. The series promises to delve into the world of theater and family dynamics, providing us with a compelling narrative.
