The untitled series, which Bergatze is attached to star in, co-write and executive produce, follows a couple who move from California to Bergatze’s native Tennessee and attempt to raise their six-year-old daughter with a combination of West Coast and Southern values but find the balance proves more difficult than they imagined — especially where his parents are concerned.
