When Hampton Chambers (Oyelowo) is released from prison, his long-awaited family reunion doesn&#8217;t go quite as he&#8217;d planned. During his absence, Hampton&#8217;s wife, Astoria (Missick), and sons, Einstein (Ellison) and Harrison (Di&#8217;Allo Winston), have formed an unconventional family unit, and Hampton&#8217;s return spins their world into chaos.<\/p>\n<p>The ensemble cast also includes Bokeem Woodbine (&#8220;Fargo&#8221;), Jeremy Bobb (&#8220;The Continental&#8221;), Louis Cancelmi (&#8220;The Irishman&#8221;), Julien Heron (&#8220;Baskets&#8221;), Djilali Rez-Kallah (&#8220;My Hero&#8221;), Louis Ferreira (&#8220;Stargate Universe&#8221;), Thomas Beaudoin (&#8220;Hubert &amp; Fanny&#8221;) and Kyle Mac (&#8220;The Boys&#8221;), with John Ortiz (&#8220;Bad Monkey&#8221;) and Adam Beach (&#8220;Smoke Signals&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>Hailing from Apple Studios and MACRO Television Studios, &#8220;Government Cheese&#8221; is written, executive produced and co-showrun by Hunter and Carr.
