Joining Fox's fall line-up this September is Ben and Kate, a family-focused comedy series starring Dakota Johnson, Nat Faxon, and the adorable little girl from We Bought a Zoo (Maggie Elizabeth Jones). The recently released key art for the comedy series features all three stars, and it looks like one of their bubbles already burst.

Fox's Ben and Kate is created by Dana Fox and follows adult siblings Ben and Kate. From Fox's description, it sounds like Ben is a bit of a man-child in terms of his lifestyle, while Kate is a single mom and the grown-up of the relationship. The series has Ben deciding to stick around to help Kate raise her daughter Maddie.

The poster below, courtesy of EW, has all three of them enjoying some bubble-gum, and it looks like Maddie may have popped Ben's bubble…

It's a cute photo, and I like the fact that there isn't so much as a trace of a smile on Maddie's face, while Ben looks surprised. Caught unaware by the power of a child, perhaps? She's holding all the cards here.

Ben and Kate is set to air on Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. ET on Fox (and premieres September 25). Watch the trailer below:

Kelly West
Assistant Managing Editor

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
