Sometimes, when a young restauranteur goes away, he comes home to discover that his super hot best friend has fallen for his mother. It’s just how life works … at least, in The CW’s upcoming comedy Significant Mother.

EW has an exclusive first look at the show, in which Josh Zuckerman plays Nate, the poor fellow who returns home to discover that his friend Jimmy, played by The Vampire Diaries‘ Nathaniel Buzolic, has swept his mother (Krista Allen) off her feet. But that’s only the beginning of Nate’s problem. The real issue comes later, when Nate’s father (Jonathan Silverman) decides he wants to get back together with his ex.
