Netflix Orders Father-Daughter Comedy Series ‘Dad Stop Embarrassing Me’ Starring Jamie Foxx

Netflix has ordered comedy series, Dad Stop Embarrassing Me from Oscar winning actor and producer Jamie Foxx (Just Mercy, Project Power). The series is inspired by Jamie’s relationship with his daughter, Corinne Foxx, who produces alongside Alex Avant.   

The multi-camera series will also star David Alan Grier, Kyla-Drew, Porscha Coleman, and Jonathan Kite. Heather Hemmens and Valente Rodriguez will appear in recurring roles.

Bentley Kyle Evans (Martin, The Jamie Foxx Show, Family Time) serves as showrunner and executive producer. Ken Whittingham (Modern Family, Black-ish, Grace & Frankie) will direct all episodes.

This is not the first time Foxx and his daughter have collaborated on a TV project. She currently appears with her father on the Fox competition series “Beat Shazam,” which Foxx hosts and on which Corinne serves as DJ.

The show marks a return of sorts for Foxx, who got his start in television on multi-cam comedies like “Roc” and “In Living Color.” He also previously starred in “The Jamie Foxx Show” at The WB, which he co-created with Evans.

Foxx won the Academy Award for best actor for playing Ray Charles in the biopic “Ray.” He was nominated for best supporting actor that same year for his role in “Collateral.” His other film roles include “Jarhead,” “Django Unchained,” “Dreamgirls,” “Law Abiding Citizen,” and “Baby Driver.”

In addition to co-creating “The Jamie Foxx Show,” Evans’ past credits include shows like “Martin,” “The Orlando Jones Show,” “Meet the Browns,” “Family Time,” and “Love That Girl!”
