Netflix has just ordered a new, multi-generational comedy series starring Tia Mowry and Loretta Devine.

The two will star in Family Reunion, and the series has already been given a 20-episode order.

Twenty-episode orders are not new for Netflix; The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina received one when they greenlit it.

The series, created by Meg DeLoatch, “revolves around Cocoa McKellan (Mowry), a free-spirited mother from Seattle. When she and her former football-playing husband, Moz (Anthony Alabi), and their four children travel from their home in the big city to the small town of Columbus, Georgia, for the McKellan Family Reunion, they get to know an extended family they didn’t realize they were missing. Devine will play the family matriarch, M’Dear.

Talia Jackson, Isaiah Russell-Bailey, CJ Wright and Jordyn James play the McKellan children.

This will be another comedy series set for Sister, Sister veteran Mowry. She starred on Nick-at-Nite’s Instant Mom from 2013–15. It is also another comedy for Devine, who was a series regular on the critically-acclaimed The Carmichael Show. She remains at Netflix, where she has starred in the films Naked and Sierra Burgess Is a Loser.
