The pilot, which follows a dysfunctional First Family, is co-written and co-executive produced by "Book of Mormon" co-star Josh Gad, who will also star as the out-of-control oldest son of the family, who returns home and "becomes not only it’s biggest liability but also the glue holding everyone together."
