Based on the best-selling Nick Hornby (“High Fidelity,” “An Education”) novel comes the series “About a Boy,” a different kind of coming-of-age story.

Will Freeman (David Walton, “Bent,” “Perfect Couples”) lives a charmed existence. After writing a hit song, he was granted a life of free time, free love and freedom from financial woes.

He’s single, unemployed and loving it. So imagine his surprise when Fiona (Minnie Driver, “Good Will Hunting,” “Grosse Pointe Blank”), a needy single mom and her oddly charming 11-year-old son, Marcus (Benjamin Stockham, “1600 Penn”), move in next door and disrupt his perfect world.

When Marcus begins dropping by his home unannounced, Will’s not so sure about being a kid’s new best friend, until, of course, Will discovers that women find single dads irresistible. That changes everything and a deal is struck: Marcus will pretend to be Will’s son and, in return, Marcus is allowed to chill at Will’s house, play ping-pong and gorge on steaks, something his very vegan mom would never allow.
