ABOUT THE SHOW
Children of divorced parents themselves, Natalie and Jared are well acquainted with the delicate balancing act of a two-household childhood, and they are determined to keep their own hurt and bitterness from affecting their daughter Sofia. To complicate matters, Jared’s serial divorcee mother and Natalie’s on-again, off-again parents have their own opinions about what it means to split things down the middle. But life- and love- go on, even in the worst of times, and sometimes the line between right and wrong is blurrier than we think. In a modern America where approximately half of marriages end in divorce, Living Room offers a candid look into the chaotic, sometimes humorous side of finding your own space and starting over.
