We have all the details you need about the new Netflix Original comedy series Disjointed, including the release date. 

Disjointed is a workplace comedy starring Kathy Bates as a lifelong advocate for legalization who’s finally living her dream as the owner of an L.A.–area cannabis dispensary. Joining her are her three budtenders, her twenty-something son returning from college, and a war veteran security guard. The stoners are running the store.


The Minds Behind the Kind

  • Chuck Lorre, the mega-producer responsible for huge comedy hits like Two and a Half Men and The Big Big Theory.
  • Former Daily Show writer and producer David Javerbaum.

Lorre has worked with star Kathy Bates before on Two and a Half Men, a turn for which she won an emmy.

This looks highly interesting.


The Trailer

Disjointed has an old-fashioned, filmed live and/or laugh-tracked situation comedy feel. If you’re a fan of comedies like The Ranch and Two and a Half Men this is going to be right up your alley, even if you have no particular interest in or knowledge of the subject matter. *cough*
