Bargatze plays Nate Wilcox, a confident salesman and lifelong family breadwinner whose world flips when his supermom wife, Katie (Moore), scores a massive deal on Shark Tank. With Katie away on an extended business trip, Nate becomes a first-time stay-at-home dad to their three young daughtersâquickly discovering that managing school runs, meals, and household mishaps is far tougher than closing sales.

The recently released trailer showcases Bargatze’s signature deadpan humor amid escalating disasters: breakfast fails, home repairs gone wrong (with a memorable horse cameo), and heartfelt father-daughter moments. Co-written by Bargatze and Dan Lagana, the script draws from classic family comedies like Mr. Mom, blending slapstick with genuine warmth. “It’s a throwback to those feel-good movies we grew up loving,” Bargatze shared in interviews.
Moore, known for This Is Us and voicing Rapunzel in Tangled, brings depth to Katie, balancing ambition and family. The ensemble includes comedy heavyweights Colin Jost, Kumail Nanjiani, Will Forte, Zach Cherry, Kate Berlant, and Martin Herlihy, promising sharp supporting antics. Young actresses Stella Grace Fitzgerald, Birdie Borria, and Charlotte Ann Tucker play the daughters, adding authentic charm.
