DTF St. Louis is a 2026 American dark-comedy series created by Steve Conrad, starring Jason Bateman and David Harbour as two middle-aged men whose tangled romantic rivalry spirals into something far more consequential — and darkly absurd — than either of them bargained for.
What is DTF St Louis about?
Set in the heartland city of St. Louis, the series follows three adults navigating a messy and mutually destructive love triangle. What begins as a seemingly ordinary — if emotionally chaotic — entanglement between two men and one woman gradually escalates into something far grimmer. Misplaced desire, wounded pride, and long-suppressed frustrations push each character toward increasingly reckless choices. The tone is dry and uncomfortable, with the show leaning into the tragic comedy of people who should know better but absolutely do not. Each episode peels back another layer of bad faith, bad timing, and worse decisions, without revealing who or what will ultimately pay the price.
Cast & crew
Jason Bateman, long associated with understated comedic roles, leads alongside David Harbour, known for his ability to make big emotions feel grounded and lived-in. Linda Cardellini and Richard Jenkins round out the central ensemble, with Joy Sunday and Arlan Ruf in supporting roles. Steve Conrad, creator of the series, brings a sharp, melancholic sensibility to the material.
Context & significance
Persian-speaking diaspora viewers with a taste for American prestige television will find DTF St. Louis immediately accessible — it fits the tradition of dark comedies about middle-class dysfunction, a genre that has proven popular among Iranian audiences abroad. The series is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing, making it easy to follow for viewers who prefer Farsi audio. It offers the kind of dry, character-driven humor and emotional complexity that travels well across cultural contexts, without requiring prior knowledge of American regional life.
