The drama will center around Charlie Wyatt (Jaeger), the most unlikely of romantic heroes: a renowned divorce attorney known for winning no matter the cost. When a life-altering heart transplant cracks something wide open inside him, Charlie finds himself pulled - almost against his will - toward a more hopeful way of moving through the world. One where he's compelled to help others find their way back to each other in ways he can't explain. Alongside it all is his younger sister, Brit (Winter). An unexpected anchor, and partner-in-matchmaking that represents the emotional truth Charlie can't out-argue: that love isn't something you win or lose, but something you deserve and choose.
In addition to Jaeger and Winter, the cast will also include Rachel Boston (The More the Merrier, Witches of East End), Julie Gonzalo (Supergirl, Dallas) and Kevin Vidal (Workin' Moms, Culprits).
Jonny Umansky created the drama. He will executive produce with showrunner Erin Gibson, Liz Cohen, Keren Shahar, Peter Traugott and Heather Brewster. Fox Entertainment Studios and Keshet Studios will produce.
