Amazon Orders Improvised June Diane Raphael and Paul Scheer Multi-Cam Sitcom ‘Dinks’
Amazon MGM Studios has ordered “Dinks,” a new improvised multi-camera sitcom starring and executive produced by real-life married couple June Diane Raphael and Paul Scheer.
The series, titled after the phrase, “dual income no kids,” hails from Okay Goodnight, the production company founded “Friends” and “Grace and Frankie” creator Marta Kauffman, with Kauffman and Hannah K.S. Canter serving as co-creators.
“Dinks” follows Josh (Scheer) and Charlie (Raphael), a couple who, in the absence of a marriage or kids, decide to literally build a life together by renovating their nightmare of a dream house, per the official logline.
“I’ve always said I wouldn’t do another multi-cam unless someone was able to reinvent it. Okay Goodnight and I got tired of waiting, and decided we should do it ourselves,” Kauffman said in a statement. “It’s what I hoped it would be: unique, hilarious and warm. Shooting this show is like being on a roller coaster in the dark. You have no idea where it’s going to go, but you know it’s going to be fun.”
