About Family Business
Family Business is a French Netflix comedy created by Igor Gotesman that follows the Hazan family, owners of a struggling kosher butcher shop in Paris. When restless would-be entrepreneur Joseph Hazan catches a rumor that France is about to legalize cannabis, he hatches a wildly optimistic plan to convert the family business into the country's first weed cafe. Convincing his skeptical relatives to go along with the scheme drags the entire clan into a series of escalating, chaotic misadventures.
The series is built around family dynamics rather than its premise: a stubborn father clinging to the shop he inherited, an exasperated sister forced to keep everyone afloat, a grandmother with her own ideas, and a son convinced his next big idea will finally work out. The humor comes from people who love each other tripping over their own ambitions, secrets, and bad decisions, and from the warmth that survives every disaster they create together.
Across three seasons and eighteen episodes, the show keeps its tone light and farcical, leaning on broad situational comedy and the affectionate chaos of a tight-knit family. It became one of Netflix's better-known French original comedies, anchored by a well-liked ensemble cast led by Jonathan Cohen, Gerard Darmon, and Julia Piaton.
