Chasing Life - Series Premiere - Official Video Preview
June is looking to be a big month for ABC Family. The network will be premiering three new original series including Chasing Life.
Chasing Life will follow April, a young woman who is hiding the fact that she has cancer.
The series is set to follow Pretty Little Liars on Tuesday nights. Observant viewers will notice that this will bump the yet to be renewed Twisted from the timeslot. It's not looking good.
Which is a shame because, in my opinion, this series looks to be an odd choice to follow Pretty Little Liars.The new one-hour drama follows April (Italia Ricci), a smart, twenty-something, aspiring journalist who tries to balance her ambitious career with her family, which includes her widowed mom, Sara (Mary Page Keller), rebellious little sister, Brenna (Haley Ramm), and her grandmother, Emma (Rebecca Schull). We meet April at a pivotal moment in her life: she’s landed a fantastic opportunity to impress her hard-nosed Boston newspaper editor and an office romance with her super-sexy co-worker Dominic (Richard Brancatisano) is just beginning to blossom. In an unexpected twist of fate, April lands in the hospital where her estranged uncle George (Steven Weber) works as an oncologist, and she learns the devastating news that she has cancer. The series follows April through her journey in the face of this daunting revelation, during a time in her life when the challenges of finding love and success would be enough to keep any girl occupied. But April is determined to fight and refuses to give up her dreams and goals. Along the way, she’ll find new reserves of strength and passion within and discover that facing death may really be the only way to truly live.Chasing Life premieres Tuesday, June 10th at 9/8c on ABC Family.
