Watch on Deadline
The Z-Suite is set at a boutique New York ad agency where generational divides see the established C-Suite and rising Gen Z employees collide. After a company decision spirals out of control, the agency’s reigning executives are pushed out and the Z-Suite employees are suddenly put in charge, ultimately testing both generations’ skills and patience.
Stevenson plays Elliot, the manic-pixie-dream-boy of the social media team; his head is in the clouds but his feet are in 6-inch heels. Bezahler portrays Clem, the off-color “slacker” of the social media team whose passions include making art, eating food and napping. As “Minnesota Matt,” Marsh plays the ambitious Millennial supervisor to the social media team whose try-hard personality rubs people the wrong way.
“I’m thrilled to bring The Z Suite to life with such an incredibly talented cast,” said O’Brien. “This show is a humorous yet poignant exploration of generational clashes and the unexpected challenges that come with them.”
The series is also executive produced by Lance Samuels, Samantha Levine, and Daniel Iron of Blue Ice Pictures (Ginny & Georgia), and Eric Wattenberg, Gary Vaynerchuk and Matt Higgins of VaynerWatt. Tubi is producing and maintains global distribution rights.
Stevenson is repped by CESD and Antonia DeNardo with Millennium Artists. Bezahler is repped commercially by Reign Agency. Marsh is repped by The Characters and David Dean Management. O’Brien is repped by Curate, Verve and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham.
