Party of Five meets Shondaland. A nighttime soap never goes out of style! In true ensemble style dear life. is a character driven drama with a female lead and definitely a new iteration of a family drama! Told in two timelines; THEN and NOW, this series chronicles the lives of Neely and her brother Jack. And- in true ensemble style- the “family that happened” around them. Together they navigate friendship, love, and of course, drama - raising each other along the way. A heartfelt journey, “dear life.” is about the intimate and intricate connections we make in life and families that grow out of circumstance. Character driven, relationship based situations pair with real heart and tender moments to deliver an emotionally satisfying, heartfelt chronicle of this unconventional ‘makeshift’ family. There is nothing here not to love. Characters to root for. Relationships to “ship.” Water cooler worthy surprises. The connection that makes these characters unique is the connection viewers crave. The THEN and NOW storytelling gives the audience the whole story - where these characters have been, where they are now, where they’re going, and almost most importantly, how they got here. The journey that made them family. The journey of being human and navigating complex connections propels dear life. forward, backward, and sideways and provides ground for seasons worth of layered story. Brought together by loss, they have each found family. It’s complicated. But so very simple.
