Elizabeth Banks is getting a fresh start, but apparently, nobody told her that starting over could involve managing her father's sex life. Apple TV has unveiled the first look at She's Fine, a new comedy starring and executive produced by Banks, and judging by the premise, this second act is going to be anything but peaceful.


The 10-episode series premieres Wednesday, January 27, 2027, with its first two episodes, followed by weekly releases through March 24. And Banks won't be navigating the chaos alone. The cast includes Rob Delaney, Ted Danson, Katey Sagal, and several other familiar faces.



A Divorce, a Fresh Start, and Some Very Awkward Family Business

Banks stars as Heidi, a recently divorced mother determined to create an exciting new chapter for herself and her children. After a messy marriage breakup, she's ready to move forward, reclaim her independence, and hopefully enjoy a little happiness without any unnecessary drama.


Unfortunately, her father has other plans. Heidi somehow finds herself coordinating the romantic and sexual adventures taking place at his retirement community. As if dealing with her own post-divorce life wasn't complicated enough, she's suddenly responsible for navigating a situation that most daughters would rather know absolutely nothing about.


Making matters even more interesting, Heidi forms an unexpected alliance with the perpetually single son of her father's girlfriend. Because apparently, nothing brings two people together quite like their parents making questionable romantic decisions.


A Comedy Cast Worth Watching

Joining Banks is an impressive ensemble led by Rob Delaney, whose comedic work includes Catastrophe, alongside television veterans Ted Danson and Katey Sagal. The cast also features Jared Goldstein, Spencer Moss, Titus Collier, and Thaddaeus Collier.


Danson and Sagal are especially intriguing additions, considering their decades of experience bringing memorable television characters to life. Pairing them with Banks and Delaney in a comedy centered on family complications, romance, and retirement-community shenanigans certainly gives the series plenty of potential.



Who's Behind 'She's Fine'?

The series comes from creators Liz Heldens and Matt Ward, who also serve as showrunners and executive producers. Banks executive produces alongside Max Handelman and Krissy Wall through Brownstone Productions.


Additional executive producers include Jason Winer and Jon Radler for Small Dog Picture Company, Quinn Haberman for Selfish Mermaid, and Jonathan Krisel, who also directs the pilot. The comedy is produced by 20th Television for Apple TV.

Between the stacked cast and the wonderfully awkward premise, She's Fine sounds like the kind of comedy that understands one universal truth: family members have an incredible talent for making your personal problems seem surprisingly manageable.


When Does 'She's Fine' Premiere?

She's Fine premieres Wednesday, January 27, 2027, exclusively on Apple TV. The first two episodes will be available at launch, with a new episode arriving every Wednesday through March 24.
