“Ellis Dragon is increasingly unstable, hence the title. You see what we did there?” the Oxford Blues actor explained. “The board of the company is worried about his mental capacity, and his son is the only person who can really reach his father.” 

Owen Lowe chimed in to describe the characters’ dynamic as “very relatable, but under a really specific lens, which is a father who loves being the center of attention and his son, who feels the exact opposite.” 

The series’ plot was reportedly inspired by Owen Lowe’s public social media trolling of his dad. However, neither he nor Lowe has confirmed this claim.

Unstable consists of eight half-hour-long episodes. There is currently no news whether or not the studio is contemplating a second season. However, Netflix has recently made headlines for canceling multiple shows after just one season, mostly because they weren’t on the Top 10 list, according to multiple outlets. 

Nevertheless, the cast and crew behind Unstable look anything but uncertain about their charming new show. 

Unstable is scheduled for its streaming premiere on March 30th via Netflix.
