Project Summary
Brother Knows Best is a multicamera family comedy in the tradition of Everybody Loves Raymond and Home Improvement. Bart Johnson is a disciplined gym owner who believes accountability is love and hard work guarantees results — until his broke, big-hearted actor brother Adam moves in "temporarily" and starts proving him wrong at every turn. Bart's wife Allie and their three kids have front-row seats. The kids aren't just watching — they're the moral compass of the show, and they see everything their parents miss. Filming July 13–17, 2026 at BYUtv Studios in Provo, Utah.
