The Bad Moms franchise is composed of comedy movies based on characters created by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. The first two films in the franchise were co-written/directed by Lucas and Moore, with future installments in development. The plot centers around a group of friends who decide as mothers to go on strike and taking a break from parenting to have time devoted to themselves, after feeling underappreciated by their respective families. Their adventures generally include wild and careless behavior, resulting in comical situations.

Bad Moms
Amy has a great husband, overachieving children, beautiful home and successful career. Unfortunately, she's also overworked, exhausted and ready to snap. Fed up with her responsibilities, she decides to join her two friends, who are also stressed-out mothers, to take a break from daily life and conventional motherhood. As the women find themselves in wild activities with their emancipated freedom, they find that they are in competition with PTA leader Gwendolyn and her group of seemingly perfect moms. The trio soon discover that their adventures in celebrant behavior, may not be all that they hoped it would be.[4]
A Bad Moms Christmas
Under-appreciated and overburdened moms Amy, Kiki and Carla decide to rebel against and abandon the expectations, challenges and to-do lists of the "Super Bowl for moms": Christmas. With the pressures of creating the perfect holiday events for their families mounting, the trio have to get their act together while hosting and entertaining their own respective mothers who come to visit for the holidays.
Bad Moms' Moms
In April 2019, a follow-up movie to A Bad Mom Christmas was announced to officially be in development at STX Entertainment. Titled Bad Moms' Moms, the film will star Christine Baranski, Susan Sarandon, and Cheryl Hines reprising their roles as the mothers of the eponymous Bad Moms. Susanne Todd will serve as producer, continuing her creative role with the previous two movies.[5] STX Films chief Adam Fogelson announced that the film will be entirely different from the first two movies, and stated that the project will have "all sorts of great talent".[6]
Bad Dads
A spin-off featuring a similar premise, with a gender-swap focus on dads was confirmed to be in development with the title Bad Dads. The film was scheduled for a release date of July 14, 2017 though its development was delayed in favor of A Bad Mom Christmas, followed by Bad Moms' Moms.[7]
Television
In February of 2018, an unscripted reality series based on the film series was in development. The docuseries will be a joint-venture with Fox Broadcasting Company and STX Entertainment with Jason Goldberg, STX Chief Creative Officer, serving as executive producer.[8] The show's development came into question in 2019, during the purchase merger of 21st Century Fox by The Walt Disney Company. The Fox Corporation was established to maintain the assets which were not purchased including the television company Fox Broadcasting Company (FOX), with the network acquiring the projects in development from the studios involved.[9]
