Flaked is an American comedy drama television series created by Will Arnett and Mark Chappell. It stars Arnett as Chip, a self-appointed "guru" who falls in love while he and many other members of the ensemble cast struggle with alcoholism and Alcoholics Anonymous.[1][2] The first season consisted of eight episodes and was released on Netflix on March 11, 2016.[3] In July 2016, the series was renewed for a six-episode second season,[4] which premiered on June 2, 2017.[5]
The show is in-part inspired by Arnett's own struggles with alcoholism. He relapsed while Flaked was in production,[6] and has attested that Alcoholics Anonymous has played a role in reclaiming sobriety.[7]
