“What truly sets R&R apart is the opportunity it presents to audiences: an invitation to laugh with our queer and disabled leads, rather than at them." -JJ Herz
R&R is a comedy series currently in development with Jaime Pressly's Liston James Productions. The series follows Robbie and Rachel, codependent twins trying to “make it” in LA. Rachel (a sarcastic, raunchy, gay mess) brings the chaos, and Robbie (a neurotically organized, hopeless romantic with Down syndrome) cleans up the pieces.
The R&R pilot made its World Premiere at SXSW 2025 in the Independent TV Pilot Competition, and stars Kevin Iannucci, breakout star of Bobby Farrelly's "Champions," as Robbie alongside emerging talent JJ Herz, who is also the writer/director.
R&R took home the AUDIENCE AWARD for Best Pilot at Nashville Film Festival 2025 and BEST PICTURE in the Pilot and Shorts Competition at Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival (BRUFF). The project also earned finalist recognition in the SXSW and SeriesFest 2025 Pitch-A-Thon, and received the SeriesFest Inclusive Creator Award for its commitment to inclusive storytelling.
Next up, R&R will be screening in Denmark at the MIX Copenhagen LBGTQ+ Film Festival Nov 2-11!
