Pivoting
Friendship. And everything in its wake.
Created by Liz Astrof
On FOX
A warm, funny ensemble comedy about three lifelong friends processing grief through impulsive reinvention, balancing dark subject matter with affectionate humor and genuine connection.
In a small, middle-class town in Long Island, NY, three women – and close-knit childhood friends – cope with the death of the fourth member of their group. When faced with the reality that life is short, these women pivot, and alter their current paths, by way of a series of impulsive, ill-advised and self-indulgent decisions. These pivots will strengthen their bond and prove it’s never too late to screw up your life in the pursuit of happiness.
