Prime Video has greenlit DINKS, a multi-camera comedy series created by Marta Kauffman and Hannah K.S. Canter. The show marks the streamer’s first original series in the multi-camera format and is designed to be heavily improvised throughout production.
The cast includes June Diane Raphael and Paul Scheer, both experienced improvisational performers and married in real life, alongside Jon Gabrus as a series regular. Raphael and Scheer will portray Josh and Charlie, a couple who pursue major home renovations rather than pursuing traditional marriage and parenthood milestones. The series logline describes the characters as deciding to build a life together by renovating what is characterized as their problematic dream house.
Production involves multiple entities collaborating on the project: Amazon MGM Studios, Lionsgate Television, the producers’ company Okay Goodnight, and Publicis Media Content Innovation, the entertainment division of the advertising company Publicis. This multi-party financing structure represents an alternative approach to traditional television production funding models.
Kauffman, who has extensive experience with multi-camera comedy format through her work on Friends, stated that she had previously stated reluctance to work in the format again unless significant reinvention occurred. She commented that the creative team developed the concept to address this condition. Kauffman and Canter wrote the pilot episode, which received an order from Amazon MGM in April 2024. Kauffman serves as showrunner and executive producer, alongside Canter, Robbie Rowe Tollin, Jesse Schiller, Raphael, and Scheer.
