“Work is what’s going to keep me sane,” he tells his business partner and friend Suzanne (Tisha Campbell).

The show is the latest project from power producer Darren Star, the man behindSex and the City,Emily in ParisandYounger.

Startold PEOPLEearlier this year thatUncoupledis a “much more mature show” than his previous offerings.

He said the show will be highly relatable because “I think we’ve all had breakups, and it’s about a breakup.”

While the storyline centers around the story of a gay man, Starr said the series is “not about being gay or straight. It’s about anyone who’s having to start over again.”
