The New Normal
Created by Ryan Murphy, Ali Adler
On NBC
A warm, optimistic sitcom about unconventional family formation, built on affection between its core characters and the comedy of cultural collision.
Los Angeles couple Bryan and David have successful careers and a loving relationship and are ready for a baby. Just as they start to worry that they will never be blessed with parenthood, they meet Goldie, a waitress who has just moved to California with her precocious eight-year-old daughter to escape from her closed-minded grandmother and a life without a future. The guys quickly work out a deal with Goldie to become their surrogate, and in the process, the little group forms a unique family unit of its own.
