Man Seeking Woman was created and developed for television by Simon Rich. Rich previously got his start with Saturday Night Live, and has since gained notoriety for writing the Seth Rogen two-hander An American Pickle, as well as creating the TBS original series Miracle Workers with Daniel Radcliffe.

Simon Rich based the show off of his own book of short stories titled The Last Girlfriend on Earth, which examines the dating landscape through a series of absurd or surrealist vignettes. 

Though the series only ran for three brief seasons, Man Seeking Woman has become something of a cult classic with audiences, and maintained excellent reviews during its short time on the air. The show currently has a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 94 percent certified fresh as of this writing. Man Seeking Woman stars Jay Baruchel in the leading role, alongside actors such as Eric Andre, Robin Duke, Maya Erskine, Rosa Salazar, Katie Findlay, and Severance’s Britt Lower.
