Go On
Created by Scott Silveri
On NBC
A sitcom built on grief and loss that uses comedy as a coping mechanism, balancing genuine emotional weight with ensemble warmth and humor.
Ryan King, a recent widower and sports talk radio host ready to get back to work after the loss of his wife. Ryan's alpha-male boss, Stephen, has a different plan in store for Ryan, making him attend grief counseling before returning to the air. A reluctant Ryan finds himself in a support group for "life change," where he meets an oddball cast of characters, all with their own backstories filled with varying degrees of loss.
