Over two years after Amazon ordered a pilot for improv comedy series DINKS, the streamer has handed the June Diane Raphael and Paul Scheer-fronted project a greenlight.
DINKS (Dual Income No Kids) comes from Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman. Deadline revealed the pilot order in April 2024.
It comes out of a deal between Lionsgate and Publicis Media Content Innovation, the entertainment arm of the ad agency.

The improvised multi-camera sitcom follows Josh (Scheer) and Charlie (Raphael), a couple who, in the absence of a marriage or kids, decide to literally build a life together by renovating their nightmare of a dream house.
Co-created by Kauffman, who was also behind Netflix’s long-running comedy Grace and Frankie, and Hannah K.S. Canter, is produced by Kauffman’s Okay Goodnight, Lionsgate Television and Amazon MGM Studios.
Jon Gabrus (Guy Code) also stars.
Kauffman, Canter, Robbie Rowe Tollin and Jesse Schiller executive produce alongside Raphael and Scheer.
A previous version of DINKS – then called A Lot – with the same creative auspices, including Raphael, Scheer, Kauffman and Lionsgate, was set up at CBS in 2023 with a presentation as proof of concept.
