In-Laws

This series, a co-production between NBC and Paramount, was inspired by Meet the Parents.

In 2004, NBC merged with Universal, which distributed Meet the Parents and its sequel Meet the Fockers in North America. 2 years later, Paramount acquired DreamWorks, which handled international distribution of both films. Paramount would distribute the second sequel, Little Fockers, internationally in 2010.

Conversely, the US rights to this series are held by CBS which acquired the Paramount TV properties in 2006 (both Paramount and CBS are now part of ViacomCBS), while the international rights are held by NBCUniversal.
