Unstable, the Netflix comedy starring Rob Lowe and his son John Owen Lowe, is heading back into production for its second season with a new showrunner.
Andrew Gurland, creator of FX’s Married, has replaced Victor Fresco as showrunner for the second season of the series after its renewal by Netflix for another eight episodes.
Production will begin later this month after it was interrupted by the writers strike back in May. Production on the second season started in late March and shut down at the start of May.
Unstable follows an introverted son (John Owen Lowe) who goes to work for his very successful, wildly eccentric father (Rob Lowe) in order to save him and his successful biotech company from disaster. It is inspired by Rob and John Owen Lowe’s social media relationship, in which John Owen often humorously trolls his dad.

Rob Lowe, 59, is reminiscing about his golden days.
Lowe posted a throwback photo of himself from the 80s with actress Demi Moore and late Wham’s singer George Michael. The nostalgic shot shows Lowe standing between Moore and Michael backstage at Michael’s Faith tour, which ran between 1988 and 1989.
“When you say: ’80s,’ I say…” wrote in the caption, welcoming others to finish the sentence.
One notable comment came from his son, John Owen, 28, who he shares with his wife of 32 years, Sheryl Berkoff. While John Owen is following in his father’s footsteps as an actor, Lowe’s and Berkoff’s eldest, Matthew Edward, 29, is a businessman.
“You’re old,” the 28-year-old left in the comments.
Lowe and Moore acted in two films together in the 80s, St. Elmo’s Fire and About Last Night.
In 2019, Lowe told The View that Moore influenced his journey to sobriety. As a teenager,...

“Law & Order” fans, you have Rob Lowe to thank for the entire franchise. As does Dick Wolf’s bank account. At least, Lowe says this, with his tongue a bit in cheek (but also with some accuracy). As the star of Fox’s “9-1-1: Lone Star” and Netflix’s “Unstable” recently told Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast, Lowe starred in Wolf’s 1988 feature flop “Masquerade.” It was just the kind of movie disappointment that would have sent Wolf back to TV — and two years later, “Law & Order” premiered. “I remember him saying to me how frustrated he was in the movie business, that he was going to write a pilot,” Lowe said. “And he wrote ‘Law and Order.’ And the rest is history. You’re welcome. Yeah, I’m happy to provide the bomb that powers your rise to dominance.”

On this week’s episode* Rob Lowe tells some seriously juicy stories—of growing up in Malibu, losing his girlfriend to Warren Beatty, and why he was deeply unpopular with the mothers at his son’s school. And that’s just the start…
Among other musings, anecdotes and memories, we also discuss the space-time continuum, and Lowe recalls an otherworldly, transcendent experience he had, inspired by his dear friend, the late, great Bill Paxton.
Along with John Owen, the younger of his two sons, Lowe co-created and stars in Netflix comedy Unstable, which has currently paused production of its second season due to the writers’ strike. The show follows an eccentric biotech entrepreneur whose introverted musician son is forced to step in and save him and his company from disaster.

Despite not landing an official renewal, production on Unstable Season 2 has been shut down.
Deadline revealed Thursday that the Rob Loe and John Owen Low series had been in production on its second season since March.
It's not uncommon for the streaming service to issue renewals as production is underway, as evidenced by the renewal for Sweet Tooth's final season this week -- all of which is already in the can.
Six of the eight scripts were reportedly complete to get the cameras rolling very soon.
Deadline notes that employees learned this week that production was being halted and that they were being laid off by the end of the week.
News of the shutdown is not a surprise when you consider that the writers strike got underway this week.
It's unclear at this stage how long the strike will last, but it effectively shuts down scripted TV production because...

Like father, like son? Like…no. At least not in Unstable (arriving March 30), a new ensemble comedy co-created by 9-1-1: Lone Star frontman Rob Lowe and his youngest son, writer-actor John Owen Lowe (The Grinder). The pair put together a warm office comedy about a family duo who love each other but, as they say onscreen, “drive each other crazy.” The elder Lowe plays unconventional tech mogul Ellis Dragon. John Owen plays his socially awkward son, who is called back from New York by Ellis’ common-sense CFO Anna to help his newly widowed father keep control of both his biotech company and his sanity. Or, as John Owen characterizes it, “Ellis is an eccentric, borderline insane man-child with pure intentions, despite the constant wake of chaos he creates around him. Jackson carries the opposite energy of his dad into all social situations.” (Credit: Netflix) Lauded as a good-hearted,...

Netflix has released a first look teaser for Unstable, starring Rob and John Owen Lowe, and announced a March 30 release date for the father-son comedy.
Unstable follows an introverted son (John Owen Lowe) who goes to work for his very successful, wildly eccentric father (Rob Lowe) in order to save him and his successful biotech company from disaster. It is inspired by Rob and John Owen Lowe’s social media relationship, in which John Owen often humorously trolls his dad.
Rob Lowe’s Ellis Dragon is a universally admired, eccentric, narcissist-adjacent biotech entrepreneur working to make the world a better place. He’s also in emotional free-fall. His son Jackson Dragon (John Owen Lowe) is… none of those things. So the question is: Can Jackson save Ellis and his company and salvage their estranged relationship while also doing what may actually be impossible: escaping the shadow of his larger-than-life father?...

Rob Lowe goes shirtless at age 58 for a fit body show-off with his sons on a yacht.
The talented actor has been heating up Hollywood since he was a teen with his good looks.

The Lowe genes are strong, with Rob’s two sons, John Owen, age 26, and Matthew, age 28, having the same youthful looks as their father.
Rob and the boys enjoyed some fun in the sun for a family trip in the Mediterranean this week.
The 9-1-1: Lone Star hunk got hearts racing with a social media post of the three Lowe men on vacation.
