Walmart’s Vudu.com digital storefront Sept. 12 will bow the season premiere of its first original series, “Mr. Mom.”
Based on the classic 1983 Michael Keaton film, the show updates the story with Megan (Andrea Anders) and Greg (Hayes MacArthur) at a parenting crossroads. After five years raising their two kids at home, Megan has unexpectedly landed her dream job. Greg’s career is anything but a dream job, so after several failed attempts at securing childcare he abruptly quits in order to take his turn as the stay-at-home parent.
He’s thrust headlong into a world of tantrums, diapers and cheese sticks, all while finally attempting to get his start-up off the ground. Megan quickly finds out just how much has changed as she reenters a workplace filled with overeager millennials.
The first episode will be available for viewing for free on Vudu, which also released a trailer for the season.
