Phil built the successful practice where his protégé Jimmy works and has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and is forced to deal with the changes in the people around him that occur because of his condition.

The acting legend has not signed up for any recurring television roles until now, opting only for guest appearances and one episode of ‘The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles’ in 1993.

Jason Segel is writing the series with Ted Lasso co-creator and showrunner Bill Lawrence and Ted Lasso star, writer, and co-executive producer Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent in the show.
