Melissa Joan Hart and Sean Astin team for con artist comedy No Good Nick

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Everyone knows that inviting someone into your home is not a gesture that should ever be taken lightly. After all, there are all sorts of weirdos out in the world, and some of them wouldn't think twice about taking advantage of your hospitality. Oh sure, it's commendable to be open-minded and welcoming, I'm just saying that exercising a bit of caution can go a long way in this instance.

Today, Netflix announced that Melissa Joan Hart (CLARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL, SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH) and Sean Astin (STRANGER THINGS, THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY) will be getting together as a married couple for an upcoming Netflix comedy series titled NO GOOD NICK. Together, Hart and Astin will play Liz and Ed, a hyper-competitive career mom and lovable but dorky “fun dad,” respectively, who unwittingly welcome thirteen-year-old Nick (short for Nicole) into their family of four before realizing she is a street-smart con artist with a secret agenda. Siena Agudong of STAR FALLS and ALEX & ME fame will star as Nick.

Production on the series has already begun, with stars Kalama Epstein (THE KID, JON & THE WOLF) and Lauren Lindsey Donzis (GHOSTED, LIV AND MADDIE) set to join the cast in roles that have yet to be revealed.

“Melissa Joan Hart and Sean Astin are beloved by millions of fans around the world, and we are delighted to bring them together as parents for the very first time,” said Melissa Cobb, Vice President of Kids and Family at Netflix. “We hope to entertain kids and families with heart, mystery, and a lot of fun when No Good Nick comes to Netflix.”

Executive produced and created by David H. Steinberg and Keetgi Kogan, and directed by Andy Fickman (SHE'S THE MAN, THE GAME PLAN), NO GOOD NICK aims to take a unique approach to multicamera sitcom filming with the intention of keeping viewers guessing about Nick's true motivation for shacking up with her new family.
