Chad follows a 14-year-old pubescent Persian boy as he navigates his first year of high school on a mission to become popular. Chad's friendships and sanity are pushed to the limits as he uses every tactic at his disposal to befriend the cool kids, while enduring his mother's new dating life and reconciling with his cultural identity.

The show, previously titled Chad: An American Boy, was a creative swing for FOX, which picked it to pilot in 2016 that was directed by Jason Winer and searched worldwide for Middle-Eastern actors to play Chad's family. After Fox ultimately passed on the pilot, producing studio 20th Century Fox Television shopped it to other platforms. The studio is not involved in the TBS version of the project, which has been reworked for cable.
