#1 Happy Family USA features the maniacally upbeat Husseins – the most patriotic, most peaceful, and most definitely-not-suspicious Muslim family in post-9/11 "Amreeka." With satire and absurdity, it redefines finding humor in hardship as they navigate the early 2000s under the watchful eyes of their terrified neighbors. It's surreal to think it's been about twenty years since Islamophobic paranoia infected the Western world, and unfortunately, it hasn't gone away these days.

The series stars the ensemble cast of Ramy Youssef (Ramy, Poor Things), Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development, Blink Twice), Mandy Moore (This is Us), Timothy Olyphant (Justified), Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain, Succession), Salma Hindy (Roast Battle Canada), Randa Jarrar (Ramy), Chris Redd (Saturday Night Live), Akaash Singh (Stand up comedian, co-host of the "Flagrant" Podcast), Paul Elia (Ramy, Detroit Player) and Whitmer Thomas (Friendship, The Golden One). 

Youssef and Brady serve as co-showrunners for the series. Mona Chalabi, Andy Campagna, Josh Rabinowitz (in other words, they're the writers' room), and A24 are executive producers alongside Youssef and Brady. #1 Happy Family USA is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, A24, and Cairo Cowboy.
