Similar to the film, the series will follow a group of friends as their lives intersect through the five events. Each season will revolve around a different story arc. Nikesh Patel, Rebecca Rittenhouse and John Reynolds are also part of the cast. The show is expected to debut in 2019. Williams will also be starring in dark comedy _Corporate Animals_ , also starring Sharon Stone and Ed Helms. (With inputs from Press Trust of India)
