The Z-Suite hails from showrunner Katie O’Brien (Teachers, The Santa Clauses) and takes place at a boutique New York ad agency where cultures clash between the established C-Suite and rising Gen Z employees. “After a company decision spirals out of control,” the logline reads, “the agency’s reigning executives are pushed out and the Z-Suite employees are suddenly put in charge, ultimately testing both generations’ skills and patience.”

Graham will play advertising mogul Monica Frazier, who is fired as CEO and must claw her way back into the company.

“When I first read the script for The Z-Suite I responded to Katie O’Brien’s fresh and funny take on the workplace,” Graham said in a statement. “The character of Monica is smart, strong and appealingly a bit unhinged. I’m excited to work with the team at Tubi as they ramp up their Originals slate and continue their ascent in the streaming space.”

The Z-Suite will be Tubi’s first foray into scripted live-action programming, having previously only acquired shows of that nature, including the remaining episodes of HBO’s scrapped Joss Whedon project The Nevers. Tubi’s other original series include the adult animated comedy The Freak Brothers, starring Pete Davidson, Woody Harrelson and John Goodman.

Graham is best known for her starring turns on The WB/CW’s Gilmore Girls and NBC’s Parenthood. More recently, she’s co-starred on NBC’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and Disney+’s The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, both of which ended after two seasons.

The Z-Suite is slated for a 2025 premiere. Our sister site Deadline was first to report the project.
