Ben Stiller:

"Hopefully we can make an American version that lives up this. A mainstream comedy about the refugee experience that’s really funny and emotionally grounded. Great work."

Really excited about this. A mainstream network sitcom dealing with #refugees and the experience of resettlement. Hopefully as funny as it will be relevant. Thanks #NBC for stepping up.#WithRefugees https://t.co/e2D1A7n72l
