The six episodes of the first season will come to Netflix on June 27, 2019.

Release date

Plot

According to the official synopsis of the show, 'Family Business' is a French series following "the 35-year-old Joseph (played by Jonathan Cohen), who can think of a million businesses he could launch even if he still works as a kosher butcher in his father’s shop (played by Gérard Darmon). When he hears that weed is about to be legalized ‘for sure’, he has an epiphany. His killer plan is to turn the family butcher shop into a ‘potcher’ shop, with the help of his family and friends.
