Disney+ is set to debut the new comedy Weekend Family, its first French original series, in the U.K. on March 9.

The comedy series follows the exploits of a chaotic blended family centered around Fred, who has custody of his three very different daughters on the weekends, while their three mothers and his best friend are always around as well. Life gets even crazier when he asks his girlfriend to move in with him.

Created by Baptiste Filleul, the series is directed by Pierre-François Martin-Laval (Gaston Lagaffe, Serial Teachers, Fahim) and Sophie Reine (Cigarettes et Chocolat Chaud). Géraldine de Margerie and Nour Ben Salem are head writers, while Sandra Ouaiss, Dorothée Woillez and Nathalie Majdar of Elephant produce.
