Faison, Lil Rel Howery, DeWanda Wise, Anthony Carrigan, Melody Hurd, and Paul Reiser, and follows a new father who struggles to raise his daughter after the sudden death of his wife. Originally scheduled to be released in theaters by Sony Pictures Releasing, Fatherhood was sold to Netflix during the COVID-19 pandemic and was digitally released on June 18, 2021.

Look, Matt, um, now, I know you don't really wanna hear this, but, like, honestly, none of us thought you would've did the job you did. Hmm. [Jordan] We thought you didn't have a chance of taking care of this little girl by yourself. Honestly, you did a way better job than any of us thought you would do, man. You should be proud of yourself, man. You did that. -I mean, she ain't die, right? -[laughs]
