Alderfer will play Morgan, a self-described “bailer” who has drifted from job to job and now in her 30s, is experiencing alarm bells about getting serious about life. She’s concerned that her current job at a “click-hungry” website is making the world worse, and that her jiujitsu-crazed boyfriend (Young) may not be the one. Then she meets Kevin (Walton), and the next decade of her life is transformed.
Walton’s Kevin is a recently divorced father of two teenage girls (Vanessa and Laura Marano). Normally secure and loyal, Kevin is still heartsick over his ex – though he won’t admit it – and has been adrift since the split. Then he meets Morgan, and their tangled romantic relationship begins.
Alderfer starred as Olivia in Netflix’s Chuck Lorre-produced comedy series Disjointed. She’s repped by Gersh and Door 24.
Walton’s credits include New Girl, Masters of Sex and Bad Moms. He’s repped by Gersh, MGMT Entertainment and Jackoway Austen Tyreman.
