Rob Lowe, Son John Owen Lowe Team Up For New Netflix Family Comedy "Unstable": Watch the Trailer

While some Hollywood nepo babies try to avoid associations with their parents, others just lean in. That's what Rob Lowe's son John Owen Lowe seems to be doing — the father-son duo are starring in a new Netflix comedy series together titled "Unstable." The pair created the series along with Victor Fresco, and in the show, they play a father and son. Rob plays Ellis Dragon, a biotech scientist who runs his own company, Dragon. After the death of his wife, he's struggling to get his focus back on track. Meanwhile, John Owen portrays Jackson Dragon, who is finding it difficult to stand out from his father's shadow.

In the first teaser for the show, released Feb. 3, Rob and John Owen joke about their relationship and how it helped inspire the series. John Owen says he spent a lot of time in his youth keeping his dad "humble" and joked that his father's ego unchecked would be "honestly dangerous."

Rob, 58, says of his character, "Ellis Dragon is increasingly unstable," and John Owen calls him a "narcissist." "He is trying to find meaning in his life," Rob explains, but the board of his company are worried about him. Jackson is the only person who can reach his father.

"It's about a father-son dynamic that's very relatable, but under a really specific lens, which is a father who loves being the center of attention and a son who feels the exact opposite," John Owen adds in the teaser.

Netflix released the full trailer for the series on March 2. The new footage also includes a first look at Fred Armisen as Ellis's therapist Leslie. See the trailer ahead!

It's not the first time John Owen, 28, and his dad have worked together. He appeared in Rob's previous TV show "The Grinder" and has been credited as a writer on one of his father's other series, "9-1-1: Lone Star." John Owen also appeared alongside the actor in the 2019 Netflix movie "Holiday in the Wild." Rob and his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, are also parents to John Owen's older brother, Matthew, 30, who works as a lawyer.
