There’s the dating pool, and there’s the bottom of it…meet two best friends who, against their wishes, live there full time…an Asian American male and an African American female, best friends, who are determined to no longer be deemed ‘unf***able’

Unf$?%ables stems from the overall deal JuVee had with ABC Signature. Under that pact, JuVee also developed comedy Black Don’t Crack, starring Beth Grant (Little Miss Sunshine), Tahj Mowery (Smart Guy), Sherri Shepard (30 Rock), Tisha Campbell (Little Shop of Horrors), Essence Atkins (A Haunted House), and Isaiaha Mustafa (It Chapter 2). The series recently received a pilot order at ABC.
