The series has been created by Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman. It follows real estate agent in his mid-forties, Michael Lawson, who gets dumped by his long-term boyfriend.

The official trailer for the series dropped earlier this month and featured Harris as Michael Lawson, a real estate agent in New York City who is struggling to move on from his long-term boyfriend who leaves him out of the blue. He had his entire life sorted, but now he will have to pick up the pieces and start looking for love all over again in the age of online dating.
The official synopsis of Uncoupled reads:
"Michael Lawson (Neil Patrick Harris) seems to have it all figured out. He’s a successful New York City real estate agent with a great career, a supportive family, close friends, and a loving relationship with his partner of 17 years, Colin (Tuc Watkins). But when Colin unexpectedly moves out on the eve of his 50th birthday, Michael is completely blindsided. Overnight, he has to confront two nightmares: losing the man he thought was his soulmate, and suddenly finding himself a single gay man in his mid-forties in New York City."
