About the Series

DMV is a single-camera workplace comedy set in one of the most frustrating places imaginable — the Department of Motor Vehicles. Under harsh lighting, endless lines and an endless flow of irritated customers, a group of underpaid employees attempts to keep the office (and their lives) from falling apart.

The quirky team includes:

Harriet Dyer as Colette, a compassionate driving examiner with poor boundaries
Tim Meadows as Gregg, a cynical former English teacher
Tony Cavalero as Vic, a tough ex-bouncer enjoying the power trip
Molly Kearney as Barbara, a newly promoted but frequently overwhelmed manager
Alex Tarrant as Noa, a laid-back surfer unexpectedly working at the DMV
Gigi Zumbado as Ceci, a blunt photographer unafraid to speak her mind

Together, they navigate DMV life — a workplace filled with frayed patience, frustrated customers and unexpected moments of camaraderie.
