TV Watch New Girl alum Nasim Pedrad transform into Chad, an awkward 14-year-old boy By Derek Lawrence Derek Lawrence I currently write about Fast & Furious, The Office, and Will Smith. One day, I will write Hitch 2. EW's editorial guidelines Published on February 23, 2021 01:00PM EST Meet Chad. After years in development, New Girl alum Nasim Pedrad is finally ready to introduce you to her new character, Chad, a 14-year-old boy who wants nothing more than to fit in. As evidenced above in the exclusive trailer for the upcoming TBS comedy, Chad is just your normal peanut butter and jelly-loving, LeBron Jameses-wanting teen. Entering high school, Chad navigates a new landscape, hoping to make friends with the popular kids, all while balancing an overly obliging best pal, single (and dating) mother, doting uncle, unimpressed little sister, and a flare for the dramatic. In addition to starring as the titular Chad, Pedrad, a Saturday Night Live veteran, serves as creator, writer, producer, and showrunner. Watch the video above. Chad premieres April 6 on TBS.
