Netflix orders comedy series 'Disjointed' from Chuck Lorre, starring Kathy Bates

BEVERLY HILLS , Calif., July 13 (UPI) -- Netflix says it has ordered 20 episodes of the half-hour, multi-camera comedy series Disjointed.

Starring Emmy- and Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates, the workplace comedy is from Chuck Lorre and David Javerbaum, who serve as executive producers/writers.

Bates plays "a lifelong advocate for legalization who's finally living her dream as the owner of an L.A.--area cannabis dispensary," the streaming service said in a press release Wednesday.

"Joining her are three budtenders, her 20-something son and a deeply troubled security guard. All of them are more or less constantly high."
