Bad Teacher is an American single-camera sitcom created by Hilary Winston, based on the 2011 film of the same title.

[4] Meredith Davis is divorced from her rich husband, who leaves her with nothing due to a prenuptial agreement that she clearly did not read.

She moves in with her friend's family, whose stepdaughter Lily inspires her to come up with a plan – become hired as a teacher at Lily's school, Richard Nixon Middle School, meet and marry a rich single father, and return to the extravagant lifestyle to which she was accustomed.

On March 19, 2013, Caitlin Kimball joined the cast in a recurring role, portraying Kim.

The website’s consensus reads: " Ari Graynor's comedic talents are largely wasted on Bad Teacher, which reboots the same shtick from the movie with none of the edge".
