In the eight-part series, out actor

According to Deadline, the show
follows Michael, “who thought his life was perfect until his

Overnight, Michael has to confront two nightmares – losing what he
thought was his soulmate and suddenly finding himself a single gay
man in his mid-40s in New York City.”
In the trailer, Michael can be seen

and being offered a “pity” threesome.

The series marks Harris' return to
comedy series television since playing a womanizer in CBS' How I
Met Your Mother, which ended in 2014, and his return to Netflix.
