'Family Business' season 1: Release date, plot, cast, trailer, and everything else about Netflix's comedy series about marijuana

The six-part Netflix series follows an entrepreneur down on his luck who hopes to open his country's first marijuana cafe but when he mixes family and friends into the picture the concoction ends up hilariously wrong.

After 'Marseille', and 'The Hook Up Plan', Netflix is not here to play games. The streaming service is all set to release the French comedy 'Family Business' and it looks like all shades of hilarious. 

Gérard Darmon and Jonathan Cohen star as a bickering father-son duo, alongside Julia Piaton and Liliane Rovère in the Igor Gotesman-directed 'Family Business' – a French comedy about a would-be entrepreneur who wants to open the country's first marijuana cafe. The six episodes of the first season will come to Netflix on June 27, 2019.

Release date

The French series will be available to stream on Netflix from June 27, 2019. 

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.
