Funny Sneak Peek at Sandra Oh in Netflix Comedy Series THE CHAIR

Netflix has released a sneak peek at Sandra Oh (Sideways, Grey’s Anatomy, Killing Eve) in the comedy series The Chair. From writer and showrunner Amanda Peet, The Chair “centers on the trials of Ji-Yoon (Oh) as she navigates her first year as the chair of Pembroke University’s English department. Coming into the position as the first woman to hold the role, she is also one of the few staff members of color at the school.”

Alongside Peet and Oh, David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, Bernie Caufield, and director Daniel Gray Longino serve as executive producers, with Annie Julia Wyman, Richard E. Robbins, Jennifer Kim, and Andrea Troyer as writers. The cast also includes Jay Duplass, Holland Taylor, Bob Balaban, Nana Mensah, David Morse, and Everly Carganilla.

This looks like a cleverly written show. Just from the little 40-second clip, I was delighted and laughing out loud. Check out the video below, and watch The Chair on Netflix on August 20th.
