The promo for the show indicates a tried and tested mockumentary format. The show will follow in the footsteps of popular sitcoms like Parks and Recreation. The characters look very colorful, and this show, too, looks to find instances of fun in the ordinary. The synopsis for the comedy series reads:

"A documentary crew sets out to explore the lives of residents in a small American town; they stumble upon the Midwestern town of Flatch, which is made up of many eccentric personalities."

The crew's time in the rural American town, studying the people there seems to be an ideal setting for a sitcom. The first episode of the show is titled "Pilot" and is directed by the legendary comedy director Paul Feig. The synopsis for the first episode reads:

"The whole town attends the annual Scarecrow Festival, where cousins and best friends Kelly and Shrub compete in the festival events."

The cast of Welcome to Flatch includes Seann William Scott, Chelsea Holmes, Aya Cash, Taylor Ortega, and Sam Starley, among others.


The all-new binge-watch format

According to the creators, the decision to release seven episodes in a single day was a clever strategy to feed the audience's binge-watching tendency. This is the channel's latest approach to promoting the comedy show. The days following Welcome to Flatch's release will indicate whether the approach worked.

The show premieres on March 17, 2022, on the Fox network and its official streaming website. Stay tuned for more updates.
