CBS is premiering a brand new sitcom for fans on Thursday night, and, with the title “The Unicorn,” it’s bound to be one of a kind.

What is the new show all about? If you’re picturing an animated series centered on an actual unicorn, you would be wrong. It’s actually a live-action comedy about a “group of best friends and family who help Wade (Walton Goggins) embrace his ‘new normal’ in the wake of the loss of his wife one year ago,” the synopsis explains.

Wade is trying to balance raising his two daughters as a now-single parent, while also taking a small step into the dating game. As he does this, he discovers he’s actually a “unicorn” in the dating world, according to his friends, because he’s “employed, attractive, and with a proven track record of commitment.”
