According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project centers on a former musician who, despite having fans around the world, opts to return home to take a job teaching music to disenfranchised children so he can repair his relationship with his own family.

Beach will play a custodian who works at the school in which Cibrian’s character works.

“Playing Father” will premiere next year timed to Father’s Day.
