Deadline

The network has given a pilot commitment to Home, based on the Channel 4 British immigrant comedy of the same name that premiered earlier this year. Stiller will serve as executive producer and director. According to Deadline, "Home follows a new couple, Mark and Melanie, who go on a long weekend trip to a cabin in the woods with Melanie’s son Jonah. Their plan to come back with a tan and some happy memories is interrupted when they return with Jay, a Syrian refugee who moves in with them, and the cobbled-together family soon discovers what home really means."
