Summerland
Created by Stephen Tolkin, Lori Loughlin
On The WB
A teen drama built on grief and displacement, where a California beach setting and found-family bonds gradually soften the trauma of parental loss.
Bradin, Nikki and Derrick are three kids from an average normal Kansas household. Their whole life is thrown upside-down when their parents are tragically killed in a car accident. Ava Gregory, their aunt, gets custody of her niece and nephews, and they move into her Californian home, in Summerland.
