Lamorne Morris (Fargo) and Iris Apatow (The Bubble) are set for recurring roles in the upcoming second season of Netflix comedy series Unstable, created by Rob Lowe, John Owen Lowe and Victor Fresco.
Lowe stars as Ellis Dragon, a universally admired, eccentric, narcissist-adjacent biotech entrepreneur working to make the world a better place. He’s also in emotional free-fall. His son Jackson Dragon, played by his real-life son John Owen Lowe, is… none of those things. Can Jackson save Ellis and his company and salvage their estranged relationship while also doing what may actually be impossible: escaping the shadow of his larger-than-life father?
Fred Armisen also returns to reprise his guest starring role as Leslie, Ellis’s board-appointed therapist who is desperate to be liked and be friends with Ellis.
Morris will play Peter, the charismatic founder of a biotech start-up whose rising star manages to stoke the already intense rivalry between Ellis and Jackson.
Apatow will portry Georgia, Anna’s (Sian Clifford) irreverent ex-stepdaughter turned unwilling Dragon intern. She copes with office life by stirring up trouble and making Anna’s life more difficult whenever possible.
Returning cast also includes Rachel Marsh, Emma Ferreira and Aaron Branch.
Andrew Gurland serves as showrunner and executive produces with Rob Lowe, John Owen Lowe and Sean Clements. Claire Scanlon also executive produces and directs.
Morris can currently be seen in the fifth installment of Noah Hawley’s praised Fargo as North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr. He previously starred as the titular lead in the hybrid live-action/animated Hulu series Woke, inspired by the life and art of cartoonist Keith Knight.
Apatow most recently starred in her dad Judd Apatow’s Netflix film The Bubble, opposite Karen Gillan, Fred Armisen, Keegan-Michael Key, and Leslie Mann, which debuted as the number two film globally on Netflix. She also can be seen starring as Aria in the hit Netflix series Love, opposite Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust. Apatow will next be seen in Young Werther, an adaptation of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Classic The Sorrows of Young Werther opposite Douglas Booth and Alison Pill for director José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço.
