Amazon Greenlights DINKS, an Improvised Multi‑Cam Sitcom From Marta Kauffman

The greenlight signals Prime Video's bet on an improvised multi‑cam sitcom backed by outside financing.

Overview

  • Amazon MGM Studios officially greenlit DINKS on Monday, August 3, 2026, marking the streamer’s public move into improvised multi‑cam comedy.
  • The series was co-created by Marta Kauffman and Hannah K.S. Canter with June Diane Raphael and Paul Scheer attached to star and serve as executive producers and Jon Gabrus set as a series regular.
  • Production is being handled by Okay Goodnight, Lionsgate Television and Amazon MGM, and Publicis Media Content Innovation (PMCI) is reported to be fully financing the series.
  • DINKS is billed as an improvised multi‑camera sitcom about a dual‑income, no‑kids couple renovating a ‘nightmare of a dream house,’ and Kauffman says the show is meant to reinvent the multi‑cam form.
  • No production start date or release window has been announced, and the order signals Prime Video testing a rare streaming-era sitcom format and alternative financing that could speed up premium comedy development.
