Season Four

Pilot logline: “The Molly Episode” - On her 40th birthday, freshly unemployed Stevie stumbles through a coming-of-middle-age crisis, juggling needy kids, her Tinder-ing dad, and an ex who won’t let go —all while hallucinating puppets?

A surrealist dramedy with heart and a fuzzy twist, it’s Fleabag meets Avenue Q.

Series logline: On her 40th birthday, newly-divorced, unemployed Stevie starts hallucinating puppets — starting with her dead childhood dog, Molly. As she hunts for new love, a new job, and footing in midlife, each surreal puppet “episode” helps her confront unresolved wounds, reimagine her future — and rediscover joy she thought she’d outgrown.
