Motherhacker is a nine-episode scripted fiction podcast that was released a few weeks ago from Gimlet Media. The premise of the story is:
Bridget’s life is a series of dropped calls. With a gift for gab, an ex-husband in rehab, and down to her last dollar, Bridget’s life takes a desperate turn when she starts vishing over the phone for a shady identity theft ring in order to support her family.
The series is written by Sandi Farkas and executive produced and directed by Amanda Lipitz. Bridget is voiced by the unbelievably talented Carrie Coon, who utilizes an incredible range of vocal abilities throughout the course of the show. And for those that can’t get enough of the mysterious voice underneath the helmet in Disney+’s The Mandalorian, Pedro Pascal conveys a beautiful depth of emotions in his scenes. Other stars include Alan Cumming, Lucas Hedges, Tavi Gevinson, and Alex Goldman.
Check out a preview of Motherhacker below.
Each episode is around 8 to 15 minutes long, and the story is a gripping and wild ride from start to finish. You’ll find yourself literally immersed in Bridget’s world as her life begins to spiral, because the sound design team put a painstaking amount of detail into the show to make it feel as realistic as possible.

With a show like Riverdale involving high school students, you rarely see them do actual school work. Sure, you see them in school. And they took the SATs, but that was, like, one episode. Now that the kids are seniors, they’re seeing their guidance counselor, who may or may not know just how messed up some of these students really are, college admissions season has plagued the town of Riverdale, and so has a mass of videotapes being sent to all residents of their house, and just their house, being watched for hours.
Find out what happens in the newest episode of Riverdale, “Chapter Sixty-Five: In Treatment.”
At Riverdale High, Betty meets with the guidance counselor, Mrs. Burble. Just as they sit down, Alice comes in right before they get started. “So you’re stalking me too, now? Shocker.” Alice assures Betty she didn’t know she’d be there. She came down to talk to Mrs. Burble herself to see if she’d give her any insight on how to talk to Betty. Betty tells Mrs. Burble that is what’s bothering her, her mother. Her control complex, her insane overreactions. Alice tells Mrs. Burble that Betty’s problem is that she’s been rejected from college because she’s too busy having sex. “What Betty needs is an intervention for this irresponsible disregard for her future.” Betty tells Alice she was going to say there were months, or years, worth of psychotic parenting to unpack. Mrs. Burble notes that there are a lot of feelings to unpack and asks Betty if she would mind if her mother joined them for the session.
Mrs. Burble asks Betty if she hides anything from her mother, and Betty tells her everyone does; she learned from the best. Alice says she keeps secrets only when it’s in Betty’s best interest. Betty asks if her joining a cult was in her best interest.
“Not mentioning to me that you weren’t actually brainwashed the whole time, you were just undercover with the FBI, working with my long-lost half-brother who I thought was dead, that was in my best interest?”
Alice tells her she was protecting her. Betty says to explain to her how giving her college fund to the Farm was part of that, and Alice tells her that was when she was under the influence of Edgar. Betty also brings up Polly, the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, and Betty having the serial killer genes. Betty asks Alice if maybe the fact that she’s taking birth control pills in the first place is because she didn’t want to be pregnant at 16 like her and Polly and Alice tells her she hoped she’d raised her to be smarter than them. Betty tells her that being proactive is being smart while she is acting naive. She says she was fine taking care of herself when Alice abandoned her for the Farm, yet she keeps treating her like a child.
Alice asks her if that’s a crime now, a mother wanting to protect her child. Alice brings up what Betty has written in her diaries, and Betty says she has no boundaries and no emotional respect. She tells Alice she needs to stop treating her like a child and accept the fact that she is becoming an adult. Mrs. Burble tells Alice that Betty’s education, relationship, and behavior might make her afraid that Betty is growing up. That may be why she gave away Betty’s college money because if she can control her, she can hold on to her childhood just a little bit longer. Alice says she already lost two children and Betty, growing up and leaving for college, moving on, she’s losing her too. Betty says she can’t be her only hope. Polly is at an asylum; she needs her, she needs help; why can’t she focus on Polly? Alice tells Betty she loves her the most.

Cheryl and Toni are talking in the Lounge at school when Cheryl gets called to the principal’s office. Principal Honey tells Cheryl she’s had 26 absences alone this semester. Cheryl says she’s suffered numerous family deaths, her mother disappeared, she’s raising twin toddlers, and she is the sole caregiver for her Nana. Principal Honey says that is the reason he has decided to put a certified adult in charge of the cheerleading squad. He will let Mrs. Burble interview her and make a recommendation. If she deems Cheryl psychologically unfit, it’s over.
Mrs. Burble tells Cheryl the only way she’s going to get what she wants, her Vixens back, is if she talks to her about herself. Mrs. Burble asks Cheryl if she received a videotape. Although Cheryl doesn’t answer, Mrs. Burble knows she did and asks her how it made her feel.
“I have felled multiple villains with my bow over the years. I’m not afraid of some sad AV pervert with a camcorder older than your blazer.”
Mrs. Burble asks Cheryl if she has ever talked to a professional about everything she’s been through; her mother’s abuse, her brother’s murder, her father’s suicide, her time in conversion therapy, an organ harvesting cult, and her near-death experience in Sweetwater River. Cheryl tells Mrs. Burble Sweetwater was just an accident, and Mrs. Burble says it would be okay to tell her if it wasn’t. She’s endured lifetimes of trauma; it must be exhausting; how has she been coping? Cheryl says she talks to Jason; she talks to her dead brother, and that’s how she copes. She goes into the chapel at Thistlehouse, where her brother’s body is, and she talks to him. She thinks he answers back. Cheryl thinks she’s lost her mind and doesn’t know when it happened. Has she always been this way? Fractured?
Mrs. Burble tells Cheryl she’s not sure Jason talks back, she thinks Cheryl wants him to, but she’s not crazy. She misses her brother. Cheryl tells Mrs. Burble about the hauntings at Thistlehouse, and Mrs. Burble tells her she’s being haunted by grief, by guilt over her family’s misfortune, and her brother’s death. “Brothers. Plural.” Cheryl tells Mrs. Burble she had a triplet, whom she absorbed in the womb and has resurfaced as a doll that’s moving around her house, causing mischief. No matter what she does, he keeps coming back because he’s angry and vengeful. Mrs. Burble says she doesn’t think Cheryl’s being haunted, and she doesn’t think she’s lost her mind. Cheryl cries and asks Mrs. Burble what’s wrong with her. Mrs. Burble tells Cheryl she thinks someone is trying to make her think that she’s lost her mind. She says they can tell the existence of Julian with a swab of Cheryl’s saliva. A test that shows whether a person absorbed a fetus in the womb by analyzing if they have one set of DNA or two. After giving Cheryl the number for a doctor, Mrs. Burble tells her as a counselor that she thinks she’s done A-plus work when it comes to the Vixens. As an administrator, she’s going to recommend to Principal Honey that he bring in a coach to supervise the Vixens while Cheryl focuses on herself for a little while.

During class, Veronica gets a call from Dean Kingsley at Harvard and goes out into the hallway. Dean Kingsley tells Veronica he knows it’s unorthodox, but as Dean of Admissions, he wanted to give her a personal heads up. She’s been accepted for Harvard’s Class of 2024. Dean Kingsley tells Veronica to give his regards to her father and thank him for the rum he sent. Veronica’s joy has turned into a pure distaste for her father.
Veronica meets with Mrs. Burble, who congratulates Veronica on getting into Harvard, her dream school. Veronica says it was her dream school; now it’s her nightmare. She didn’t achieve Harvard. Once again, her father meddled in her affairs and, apparently, bought her way into the school with rum, threats, money, charm, who knows. It’s humiliating and infuriating. Veronica tells Mrs. Burble that now, she’ll never know if she could do it on her own. Hiram did this to prove he can and will always control her. This is what he does. Veronica says her father fake-sold her two businesses and then conned her into running them. Then charged her protection, lured her boyfriend into crime, and then tried to kill him in front of a crowd at an illegal boxing match. He had her mother arrested and brought his secret illegitimate daughter back to Riverdale to try and make Veronica jealous. Mrs. Burble asks Veronica if she’s jealous of her sister. “Absolutely not. She can have him. They deserve each other.”
Veronica says she wants nothing to do with her father, even though she willingly lives at home. Mrs. Burble points out that Veronica obediently comes when he calls her, she doesn’t think this is hate. It’s an obsession.
“You’re diagnosing me with Daddy Issues?”
Veronica says she has no desire to become her father. She has zero respect for him. “And yet he has instilled in you a drive.” Mrs. Burble tells Veronica she’s locked in a constant battle for identity with her father. She’s driven by compulsive forces like love, sexuality, and obsession. She suggests to Veronica to cut ties with Hiram for good. Veronica says she’s tried that a bunch of times, and Mrs. Burble tells her it only works if she actually wants to walk away. Does she? “Yes.” Mrs. Burble says she should say yes to Harvard, but moving forward, she should not engage with her father on his terms, or else he will be her downfall. “I really, really want to go to Harvard.”

Betty gets home and finds Alice in the kitchen. She sees a check on the table from her mom, made out to her. A college fund. “I love you most, too, Mom.”
Cheryl meets Toni at Pop’s and tells her she got her chimerism test results. She tells Toni to promise her that no matter what the contents of the envelope, she’s there for her. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I love you, and nothing would ever change that.” Cheryl looks at her results, and it confirms she is 100% Cheryl Marjorie Blossom. She’s not crazy or haunted. Maybe there once was a Julian in her mother’s mortal womb, but she did not absorb him. As for Thistlehouse, most likely, someone is trying to drive Cheryl mad, and she will find whoever is doing it.
Veronica is in her father’s office. Hiram wants to know why he got a call from Dean Kingsley informing him she turned down her Harvard acceptance. Veronica says there’s been no mistake. She looks better in Yale blue, anyway. Veronica tells Hiram it was one of her dreams until he ruined it for her. Going to Harvard means she’d be letting him dictate the rest of her life. The next 20 years would be mapped out by him.
“I’m finished living your version of my life. You don’t get to own my future. So consider the ties that bind … cut.”
Hiram tells Veronica she’s never been able to walk away from him. Veronica says he’s right, but her guidance counselor told her that there is one way to end this. She has to kill him. But to not worry. She wouldn’t stoop to his level of murder. “I’m going to kill you on the battlefield you cherish above all others. Business.” She will be free of him, once and for all.
In a flash-forward, Veronica, Archie, and Betty are at the police station. FP asks Bret and Donna, who are also at the station, if they’re sure those are the three suspects they saw that night. Bret says it’s definitely them, while Donna admits those are the kids they saw kill Jughead.

We are getting closer and closer to finding out just what actually happened during Spring Break of senior year, and we are already getting some answers about everything else. Next week is Riverdale‘s fall finale, so it’s sure to be a good one. Watch next Wednesday, December 11 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT only on The CW.
Thanksgiving has passed, and Christmas is right around the corner. Holidays can be rough, whether it’s because you’re not with your family … or because you are, there’s always something that isn’t exactly on the list of favorites. Now surely you’ve been on Twitter lately, or any website really, and have seen two topics running rampant through November. The world has gifted us this holiday season … drum roll please … Chris Evans’ Knives Out sweaters and The Mandalorian‘s Baby Yoda (we know, it’s not really Yoda).
Now, you’re wondering, how does this help me? What could Chris Evans in knitted garb and a tiny green puppet with big floppy ears do for me? Simple. Is there anything more distracting to something unpleasant than Chris Evans in a sea foam blue, fluffy sweater? Something out there that can cheer you up quite like Baby Yoda sipping on soup as his father brawls right in front of him? Didn’t think so.

Is Great Aunt Betty (no offense to any Aunt Bettys out there) jabbering on about something that shouldn’t be discussed at a family gathering? At the soonest moment of respite, how easy is it to quickly turn the subject to one or both of the greatest pop culture icons of the moment? “Did you see Chris Evans in his white cable knit sweater, Aunt Betty?” Bet she hasn’t. Bet she wants to.
Image courtesy of ‘Knives Out’
Does she know Chris Evans? Maybe not, but that’s neither here nor there. Perhaps she knows a similar knitting stitch, or appreciates the way his hair is perfectly swooped to the right. Either way, all is forgotten except for strategically placed distressing amongst the threads and a sapping stare to complete the look. After that, the discussion can turn to just how fantastic the film these sweaters are featured in and soon, the night is over.

Or maybe your friends and family, or even your workplace, are the ones who like to partake in Ugly Christmas Sweater contests? That’s so last year. In 2019, it’s all about the Chris Evans Sweater Parties to send this decade off in style — literally. Evans and the Knives Out crew gave us the gift that keeps on giving with their choice of luxurious knits via spoiled rich kid attire that we see Handsome … I mean, Ransom Drysdale donning throughout the film, and it deserves to be celebrated. Everyone just needs to grab the classiest, the coziest, the cable knit-iest knitwear they can find and compete against the King of Cashmere himself. It’s not too late to let them know there will be a change of plans, and honestly, who’s going to argue? To really gain the full benefit of this, offer to be the judge.
Plus, what’s a more convincing way to get your friends and family dressing better than hopping on a trend that Captain America started?
Or perhaps your folks like things that are small, cute, and green, maybe “Africa” by Toto, too. That’s fine, Baby Yoda is the gift of peace and joy on Earth this Christmas, nestled in his floating pod cradle; he’s given us all something believe in. Amongst the hoards of thousands of Baby Yoda memes in the vast Twitter blue, let Mando himself Pedro Pascal guide you to his favorites, for there you will find peace. Once they’re hooked on the tiny pea in a pod like the rest of the world, the hashtag #BabyYodaMemes should help you on your quest to a quiet, squeeful evening. And then, you can end on the perfect carol of “Dear Baby Yoda” from The Ringer as your family sends one finally Christmas wish for The Child to make it to The Mandalorian season two.
Have we ever seen the internet as united as we have over these two topics? The majority agrees, Chris Evans needs more sweaters (he has tons, by the way, and they’re all glorious, just search the hashtag #ChrisEvansInASweater) and Baby Yoda is the greatest thing to happen in 2019, maybe the decade, maybe ever … Whether you’re avoiding family, need a topic to sway the conversation, or something to make you smile during a difficult time, Baby Yoda and Evans’ sweaters have you covered. Enjoy them, things like this only happen once in awhile.
Knives Out is currently playing in theaters, if you need to experience those sweaters on the silver screen for the first or tenth time. And The Mandalorian is streaming new episodes on Fridays (with the exception of episode seven, which will air on Wednesday, December 18).

After last week’s cliffhanger featuring a car accident involving two major characters and Nancy’s suspicions about her father finally coming to a head, this week’s episode needed to provide major answers. While it resolved some questions before the midseason finale next week, the show also introduced some new supernatural mysteries for the Drew Crew to solve. Let’s jump right in and find out what happened in “The Path of Shadows”…
Courtesy of The CW.
The episode opens with Nancy narrating the scene of Ace and Laura’s accident. We go to Nancy and Carson in the aftermath of Nancy directly asking him if he killed Lucy Sable. Nancy is angry and lists her many pieces of evidence against him. Carson insists he’s innocent, but also doesn’t explain how he ended up with her bloody dress or why he took her crown from the medical examiner. He’s looking pretty guilty until George shows up with terrible news: Ace and Laura Tandy have been in a major car accident and it’s not looking good for either of them.
They go to the hospital, with Bess arriving with Lisbeth. Carson goes to be with the police standing watch over Ace; his father was a legendary cop and they’re all there to pay their respects. Nancy notes that if Laura dies, her claim to Tiffany’s estate will die with her. Someone could have been motivated to cause the accident. Her suspicions turn to Lisbeth due to her connection to the Hudsons. Bess protests, saying Lisbeth is there to support her. Nancy notices Ace’s belongings and goes for his phone, thinking he may have evidence. She sees the audio recording he was making during the crash. As Nancy starts listening, Lisbeth conspicuously leaves. On the recording, Ace asks Laura to slow down, but she insists she’s not touching the gas pedal. This was no accident.
Chief McGinnis and a doctor exit the ward and tell the friends that Ace is in a coma, though they are struggling to find a medical reason why. McGinnis sees a dark spirit in the hall and follows it, thinking it’s Ace. Nancy in turn follows him and sees his startled reaction to what he thinks is a ghost. He walks away as Nancy tries to see what he saw.
Nancy and Bess are at the hospital waiting for news as Bess indulges in some very sponsored retail therapy courtesy of Old Navy. Nancy calls Nick and tells him that Laura is still in surgery and Ace’s brain waves are still abnormal. She asks Nick if it’s possible to hack the self-driving feature of a car and take control remotely. Nick says it’s possible, and Bess notes that since Nick was the last person to service the car he will fall under suspicion. Nancy proposes they go to the police impound lot and look at Laura’s car for evidence, and Nick agrees.
At the police station, Bess and Nancy go into full distraction mode so Nick can get to the car. McGinnis tells Nancy there were no skid marks at the scene and that this could be a suicide. Nancy shares the recording with him and says there’s no way this was a suicide. She reveals that she knows about Ace’s secret deal with him. Nancy asks him what he saw in the hospital and shares that she’s experienced some supernatural haunting while looking into the case. McGinnis brushes it off, but as Nancy leaves he opens a trunk containing sage and a feather. When he attempts to cleanse the station, the sage sparks and burns on its own. Something is definitely targeting him.
George and her sister Ted are at The Claw, where George is babysitting (which is really more like locking Ted in a room by herself while their mother is gone). Nick tells Nancy and Bess that he didn’t find a device, but that someone could have removed it after the accident. But he ran a diagnostic on the CPU in her car looking for discrepancies. His repair should have shown up, but it’s gone, which means someone wiped it after Laura picked it up. Suspicions turn to the only other mechanic they know: Lisbeth. Bess protests, but the circumstantial evidence is pretty damning.

Just then, McGinnis arrives. He wants to know who’s been tampering with the spirit world. They confess, and McGinnis admits that he saw Ace’s spirit at the hospital. Ace is lost in the spirit world. Nancy asks if there’s a way to bring him back, and McGinnis asks if there’s a place they’ve contacted spirits that’s a bit less contaminated than The Claw. George, Nancy, and McGinnis head to Nancy’s house, where Carson walks in on them starting a ceremony to bring Ace back. McGinnis explains the ceremony, which is from his tribe’s spiritual tradition. He explains that the spirit world has layers, with the outer one being clogged from the souls coming for the coins during their earlier DIY seance. Carson gets the line of the episode when he turns to Nancy and quips, “There’s many things we need to discuss,” after he gets the run down on the gang’s supernatural extracurriculars.

Back at The Claw, Nick tells Bess that the Hudsons just landed in town, which means that Lisbeth lied about being at work yesterday. We get our second shameless product placement for Old Navy in one episode, which takes away from the tension of the moment as Bess gleefully exclaims, “My Old Navy Rockstar jeans!” seconds after being told her girlfriend is lying to her about a potential murder attempt. Bess calls Lisbeth, asking her to meet so that she and Nick can try to get her confession.
Courtesy of The CW.
Back at Nancy’s house, they start the ceremony. McGinnis says only one can enter the spirit world at a time and that they can’t choose who it will be. He tells them that Ace has one of the figures he carved from stone for the ceremony years ago, a bear. He gave Ace the bear as a child when his father was in a terrible accident, and his father ultimately survived. Each of them take a figure, which are in the shape of animals. George finds herself in the spirit world, wryly remarking, “Of course it’s me.” She goes looking for Ace but keeps seeing random ghosts who came for the coins. The rest of the group hears George describing what she sees, and McGinnis talks her through what to do. She panics and runs through the spirit world pursued by ghosts. She sees an overturned car and goes to help Ace, but it’s really an evil spirit that drags her away.
George manages to escape, but McGinnis realizes the tension in the spirit world is due to the conflict between Nancy and Carson. They need to solve this or George will also be trapped with Ace. They go to the porch, where Nancy lays out her whole theory and everything she’s learned so far. Carson explains that on the night Lucy died, he was looking for her at the Hudsons’ request. He got there too late and Lucy was already over the cliff. Nancy chooses to believe him for the sake of Ace and George, but makes him promise to tell her everything after the ceremony.
Lisbeth arrives, and Nick hides to secretly record their conversation. Bess uses Lisbeth’s suspicious social media activity to confront her, asking if she hurt Ace and Laura. Bess threatens to go to the cops, but Lisbeth stops her and tells her she’s undercover. She’s with the state police. They think the Hudsons have a local cop on their payroll, and she’s there to find out who. Nick reveals himself at this news.
George is still looking for Ace, and she finds his most vulnerable moment: when Ace was six years old and his father was in a wreck. Little Ace is sitting alone in the snow, wearing boots that are too big. George carries him, sending both Ace’s spirit and George back to reality. George wakes up holding Ace’s bear figurine — proof that they brought his spirit back.
At the hospital, McGinnis and George tell Nancy that Ace is still in a coma, but that his spirit is back within his body. It’s up to Ace now. Nancy and George go back to The Claw, where Lisbeth reveals her identity. Lisbeth is worried about her relationship with Bess, since Mrs. Hudson has concerns and it could become a liability in her investigation. They decide to combine resources to find the dirty cop. George thinks the boots she saw with little Ace were the last thing he saw at the accident — potentially belonging to the person who erased the data from the CPU. Lisbeth says they can cross reference her list of payments made by the Hudsons to find the cop. However, Lisbeth worries about how to get the info to McGinnis without revealing her identity. Nancy volunteers to give McGinnis the information so that Lisbeth can maintain her cover. McGinnis is skeptical since Nancy won’t reveal her source, but then Officer Rawley enters with his final report on the accident. It’s clearly doctored based on the evidence Nancy already gave McGinnis and it’s obvious Rawley is the man on the Hudsons’ payroll. Sealing the deal? He’s wearing the boots Ace saw after the accident.

Carson explains to Nancy that the Hudsons will simply buy off Rawley for his silence and dismiss the transactions linking him to the family as a personal loan. He explains the night of Lucy’s death. He saw the crime scene and took the dress to protect the Hudsons because he feared for his family’s safety if they were responsible and he was the one who turned in evidence against them. He took the $50,000 the Hudsons paid him and moved the family to Europe to avoid the Hudsons for the first year of Nancy’s life. She starts to chastise him, but he points out that they both do things outside the law if they believe they are right. He thinks impulse runs in the family. He took the evidence from the lab to cover for her. Nancy seems to believe him, and it seems that for now their relationship is in a good place.
Nancy, Bess, and Lisbeth stage a scene to convince Mrs. Hudson that Lisbeth broke up with Bess and that Nancy is off the case (complete with a fake punch). It works, and Bess rushes to Nancy’s side with an ice pack. Back at The Claw, George’s sister Ted is taken by the spirit hiding in her possessed toy (and this is why we check our toys for demons after using them to communicate with vengeful spirits). George look for her to no avail, and the episode ends with George screaming her name from the parking lot.
Nancy Drew airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
It has been 10 years since The L Word left our screens, with the murder mystery of troublemakers Jenny Schecter’s (Mia Kirshner) death at the end of season six. Well, the series has been revived by Marja-Lewis Ryan (6 Ballons, College), with original creator Ilene Chaiken (Stumptown, Empire) as the executive producer. On December 8, on Showtime, The L Word: Generation Q will begin its eight-episode first season.

In this series, I am looking forward to seeing how they will touch on the essential topics that face the younger LGBTQ+ generation currently. In one of the trailers, they do show a few hints that I hope they develop the storylines further in-depth. With one of the main characters running for political office, the #MeToo movement, treatment towards the transgender community, cultural representation, and more, the chances are there. In the world of reboots that we are in right now, this one could be important if it goes in the right direction and not make the same miss-step that The L Word did.
If you are not familiar with the Showtime original queer drama The L Word, the series followed the lives and lovers of a small, close-knit group of LGBTQ+ women living in Los Angeles. Along with their friends and family members that either support or try to sabotage them. The show lasted six seasons from 2004-2009.
When The L Word: Generation Q begins, there will be some familiar faces in Silver Lake. Bette Porter (Jennifer Beals), Alice Pieszecki (Leisha Hailey), and Shane McCutcheon (Katherine Moennig) are all returning. But what have they been up to?
Well, unfortunately, Bette and Tina are divorced now, and Bette is raising their now teenage daughter Angie (Jordan Hull), Bette is also running to be the first lesbian mayor of Los Angeles. Alice is engaged to Nat (Stephanie Allynne) – what happened with Tasha (Rose Rollins)? Who has two kids from a previous marriage. But Nat’s ex-wife Gigi (Sepideh Moafi), is still always around. Alice is now a journalist with a talk show named “Alice.” Heartbreaker Shane has sold her successful salon company, including the ones in Paris and New York, and is debating about buying a bar, but the main thing on her mind is her estranged soon to be ex-wife.

Intertwined in the original L Word cast lives are diverse characters that are sure to bring exciting storylines and open up the series to a new generation. Dani Nùñez (Arienne Mandi) is a successful Public Relations executive, but her conscience tests her determination. She will also have romantic moments with Bette. Oh yeah, she is even engaged to Sophie Suarez and lives with her and their friend. Dani tries hard to get her father’s approval, who is the CEO of a pharmaceutical company. Speaking of, Sophie (Rosanny Zayas) is the television producer on Alice’s show who puts everyone before herself as a way to protect her heart. (Sarah) Finley (Jacqueline Toboni) is an executive assistant working as a PA on Alice’s show, who struggles to reconcile her sexual orientation with her religious upbringing in Missouri. Micah (Leo Sheng) is a shy, soft-spoken adjunct professor forced to deal with his fear of vulnerability as a trans man.

The first episode is titled “Let’s Do It Again.” Showtime has the synopsis of the episode as:
“Ten years after we last left them, we find Bette running for mayor of Los Angeles; Shane as she returns to the city after a setback; and Alice learning to balance co-parenting with her fiancée Nat and Nat’s ex-wife Gigi and the rising success of her talk show. We meet PR exec Dani Núñez, her girlfriend and TV producer Sophie Suarez, their best friend and roommate Micah Lee, and the charming former Olympic swimmer-turned-assistant, (Sarah) Finley.”
