The Emmy Award-winning dramedy will debut all eight episodes on FX and Hulu June 25 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

The half-hour series also stars Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas and Matty Matheson, with Ricky Staffieri, Oliver Platt, Will Poulter and Jamie Lee Curtis in recurring roles. Recurring actor Jamie Lee Curtis hinted in a post this February after wrapping the series, confirming that the series was in fact coming to an end.
