Unstable is a new comedy show that will be on Netflix. We’ve put together a guide with all the important details about the show to share with you.

In April 2022, Rob Lowe, his son John Owen Lowe, and Victor Fresco got the green light from Netflix to make a scripted comedy show called “Unstable.” It came from the way Rob and John talked on social media. John is known for making fun of his dad’s Instagram photos in a funny way on social media. These posts often went viral.

Tracey Pakosta, Head of Comedy at Netflix, said in a statement, “We are very excited to be working with Victor, Rob, and John Owen.” Netflix was proud to take on this series. “The three of them are a great fit for our growing list of scripted comedies, thanks to how smart and funny they are.”
