Netflix has released the official Unstable trailer for the upcoming comedy, starring real-life father-son duo Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe. The video features Jackson Dragon as he tries to deal with his eccentric and brilliant father, who has gone out of control following the death of his mother. The series will be available for streaming on March 30.
Unstable is created and executive produced by Rob Lowe, John Owen Lowe, and Victor Fresco, with Marc Buckland also set as an executive producer. The 8-episode series will also feature Sian Clifford as Anna, Rachel Marsh as Luna, Emma Ferreira as Ruby, Aaron Branch as Malcolm, and Fred Armisen as Leslie.
“Ellis Dragon is a universally admired, eccentric, narcissist-adjacent biotech entrepreneur working to make the world a better place,” reads the synopsis. “He’s also in emotional free-fall. His son Jackson Dragon is… none of those things. Can Jackson save Ellis and his company and salvage their estranged relationship while also doing what may actually be impossible: escaping the shadow of his larger-than-life father?”
Rob Lowe is a former teen actor best best known for his performances in classic 1980s films including The Outsiders, Oxford Blues, St. Elmo’s Fire, and About Last Night.
