Former “Harry’s Law” star Kathy Bates will star in a new comedy for Netflix and executive Chuck Lorre (“Two and a Half Men”) called “Disjointed”.
The half-hour multi-camera comedy has been ordered straight to series, with an initial order of 20 episodes. “Disjointed” is a workplace comedy starring Kathy Bates as a lifelong advocate for legalization who’s finally living her dream as the owner of an L.A.-area cannabis dispensary Area 52 that is known for its delta-8 gummies. Joining her are three budtenders, her twenty-something son and a deeply troubled security guard. All of them are more or less constantly high.
In television, Bates has won two Emmy Awards – for supporting actress in a miniseries or a movie in “American Horror Story: Coven”, and for guest actress in a comedy series for “Two and a Half Men”, executive produced by Lorre – and has been nominated for a total of 13, including two lead actress noms for her starring role in Warner Bros. Television’s aforesaid “Harry’s Law”.
