Luckily, the producers do have a solid cast in place, though, with Kyla-Drew (The Good Doctor, Station 19, No Good Nick) set to play Foxx’s daughter, David Alan Grier (In Living Color, The Resident, The Carmichael Show) also having a starring role, and Porscha Coleman (Good Girls, Ballers), Jonathan Kite (2 Broke Girls, Black Dynamite: The Animated Series), Heather Hemmens (Roswell, New Mexico; Yellowstone), and Valente Rodriguez (High School Musical: The Musical – The Series) rounding out the cast.
In February, Dad Stop Embarrassing Me was already casting and beginning other pre-production work, but, as with so many shows, quarantine stopped that forward motion just a few weeks later.
