## The 2018 Fox comedy
The earliest project recorded under this working title was a single-camera comedy developed at Fox. A 2018 fall-pilot guide described it as a comedy based on real life, focusing on a woman whose life is flipped upside down when her father begins dating her friend, with a cast that included Erin Foster, Don Johnson, Christine Woods, Janina Gavankar, Mike O'Gorman, Jane Leeves, and Gemma Allen[1](https://popculture.com/tv-shows/news/all-the-2018-fall-tv-pilots/).
Fox ordered the pilot in January 2018 under the title *Daddy Issues*, from 3 Arts Entertainment in association with 20th Century Fox Television. It starred Foster and was loosely based on her life as a single 30-something whose dad falls in love with her best friend, with *New Girl* creator Liz Meriwether executive producing alongside Foster, Oly Obst, and Josh Lieberman[2](https://www.thewrap.com/liz-meriwethers-new-girl-follow-ilene-chaiken-drama-get-pilot-orders-fox/). A West Hollywood filming-permit record lists an "Untitled Erin Foster Project" produced by 20th Century Fox on March 27, 2018[7](https://data.weho.org/api/views/xd5y-dzvf/rows.pdf?accessType=DOWNLOAD). Foster later described the pilot as a big project for her that was shot and then not picked up to series[3](https://latimes.pages.dev/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2025-05-27/erin-foster-netflix-nobody-wants-this-on-writing).
## Untitled Erin Foster Show (Nobody Wants This)
The working title "Untitled Erin Foster Show" was used for the half-hour Netflix comedy ordered in March 2023, starring [Kristen Bell](https://www.edgepedia.org/kristen-bell) and [Adam Brody](https://www.edgepedia.org/adam-brody). Netflix announced at its Upfront presentation in May 2024 that the series had been retitled *Nobody Wants This* and would premiere with all 10 episodes on Thursday, September 26[4](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64589325/). The series, inspired by Foster's own experience of marrying into a Jewish family, became a ratings and pop-culture hit, and its second season launched in October 2025[5](https://www.thewrap.com/erin-foster-rom-com-project-hulu-adam-countee-destination-wedding/).
## The Hulu destination-wedding series
The most recent project under an untitled working title is a romantic comedy series set at Hulu, announced on October 27, 2025, on the heels of the *Nobody Wants This* second-season release. Erin Foster co-writes the series with Adam Countee, whose credits include *Severance*, *[Silicon Valley](https://www.edgepedia.org/silicon-valley-tv-series)*, *Vice Principals*, *The Mindy Project*, and *Community*, and who co-created the Hulu comedy pilot *Downforce* with Alec Berg[5](https://www.thewrap.com/erin-foster-rom-com-project-hulu-adam-countee-destination-wedding/).
The official logline describes "a sweeping, epic ensemble romantic comedy that follows a group of couples and singles to a lavish, extravagant destination wedding where their stories intersect and collide over the course of one very long weekend"[5](https://www.thewrap.com/erin-foster-rom-com-project-hulu-adam-countee-destination-wedding/). Countee sold the project to Hulu and 20th [Television](https://www.edgepedia.org/television), where both his own deal and the Fosters' Fatigue Sisters Productions are based, keeping the project within Disney after *Nobody Wants This* had landed at Netflix; trade reporting described the Hulu purchase as preemptive[5](https://www.thewrap.com/erin-foster-rom-com-project-hulu-adam-countee-destination-wedding/) • [8](https://nz.news.yahoo.com/nobody-wants-creator-erin-foster-191432492.html). Countee, Erin Foster, and Sara Foster executive produce alongside 3Arts' Oly Obst and Tom Lassally[5](https://www.thewrap.com/erin-foster-rom-com-project-hulu-adam-countee-destination-wedding/). IMDbPro lists the project, titled Untitled Destination Wedding Project, as a comedy-romance television series in pre-production with Countee and Foster as writers and no cast announced[6](https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt38784608/).
## Context in Erin Foster's career
The sequence of untitled projects traces Foster's move from network comedy development to streaming. After the *Daddy Issues* pilot was not picked up, she and her sister Sara Foster signed an exclusive three-year pod deal with 20th Century Fox TV in August 2019[9](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/erin-sara-foster-ink-pod-224733010.html), and it was under a 20th Television deal from 2019 through 2022 that they developed the series that became *Nobody Wants This*[10](https://whatsondisneyplus.com/20th-television-signs-new-overall-deal-with-nobody-wants-this-eps-erin-sara-foster/). In December 2024 the sisters signed a new overall deal with 20th Television, through which they develop, write, and executive produce original series via Fatigue Sisters Productions, including the Hulu destination-wedding project[10](https://whatsondisneyplus.com/20th-television-signs-new-overall-deal-with-nobody-wants-this-eps-erin-sara-foster/) • [5](https://www.thewrap.com/erin-foster-rom-com-project-hulu-adam-countee-destination-wedding/).
