‘DTF St. Louis’ First Look: Jason Bateman, David Harbour & Linda Cardellini Star In HBO Dark Comedy About A Deadly Love Triangle

While David Harbour (“Stranger Things”) and Jason Bateman (“Ozark”) have ended their respective TV tenures at Netflix with mega-popular streaming shows, they have a new HBO dark comedy miniseries on the horizon called “DTF St. Louis” that features the two stuck in a love triangle, leading to deadly consequences.

Thanks to Vanity Fair, we have a batch of first-look images from the upcoming series that hails from creator and director Steven Conrad, who was the screenwriter of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” “The Weather Man“, and “The Pursuit of Happyness.”

Also, other actors named among the cast of the new show include Richard Jenkins (“Step Brothers,” “The Shape of Water”), Chris Perfetti (“Abbott Elementary”), and Joy Sunday (“Dear White People”).

A synopsis mentioned within the outlet’s article:

Bateman’s Clark Forrest is a hot weatherman and a micro-celebrity in the greater St. Louis area. While reporting on a storm, he’s paired with a good-hearted yet simple ASL interpreter named Floyd, played by Harbour. An unlikely friendship between the two blossoms, leading Clark to meet Floyd’s wife, Cardellini’s Carol, a previously single mother struggling to support a troubled tweenage-year-old son and an under-employed husband. The also-married Clark introduces Floyd to a new app called DTF St. Louis, made for singles and swingers looking to spice up their marriages. After a few fateful swipes, everyone’s lives begin to change.

Cardellini isn’t a stranger to the world of television, having been part of Judd Apatow‘s coming-of-age sitcom “Freaks & Geeks,” and recently tapped by A24 to play a young Pamela Vorhees (the mother of Jason Vorhees and original killer in the beloved slasher franchise) in their “Friday the 13th” prequel series, “Crystal Lake.”
