Restauranteur Nate Marlowe (Zuckerman) is shocked to discover that his best friend and roommate, Jimmy Barnes (Buzolic), has slept with his mother, Lydia (Allen). Nate and his father Harrison (Jonathan Silverman) find that they must face the reality that Lydia and Jimmy plan to pursue their relationship.
Created by Cardillo and Keith, the half-hour sitcom was developed for the digital platform CW Seed. Significant Mother was ordered to series for the CW on April 10, 2015, with Zuckerman and Allen attached to star and Silverman, Fitzpatrick and Adams rounding out the cast. On May 1, 2015, Buzolic was announced in the role of Jimmy.
Later in May 2015, Denise Richards was cast as local "cougar" Pepper Spinner. In June 2015, the CW announced guest stars Linda Gray as Gammy, Nate's grandmother and Lydia's conservative southern mother, and Jerry O'Connell as Bob Babcock, a "slick realtor". In August 2015, Terry Kiser, Silverman's costar from Weekend at Bernie's, was cast in a guest role.
Significant Mother premiered on August 3, 2015.
Brian Lowry of Variety wrote that "while the show does possess some energy thanks to the cast, there’s such a numbing sameness to the gags."
