The power of sisterhood is an undeniable force that resonates with anyone who has a sister or a close friend who feels like one. For those without a sister, the big screen provides an opportunity to vicariously live through captivating stories. The recently released trailer for the comedy-drama series "SisterS" promises to deliver all the laughs, tears, frustration, and love that comes with sisterhood territory.
"SisterS" is an Irish-Canadian co-production, written by Sarah Goldberg, known for her work on "Barry," and Susan Stanley, acclaimed for "Hotel Amenities." In an exciting twist, Goldberg and Stanley also play the titular half-sister duo on the series. This dark comedy-drama revolves around two long-lost half-sisters, one Irish and one Canadian, who embark on a road trip together in search of their father. Goldberg, also Canadian, embodies her character's Canadian roots, while Stanley, hailing from Ireland, plays her Irish counterpart.
Stars: Susan Stanley, Sarah Goldberg, Sophie Thompson
Goldberg and Stanley share a long friendship that began 19 years ago when they met at drama school. Since then, they have collaborated on various projects, but the concept of "SisterS" has been brewing for the past seven years. In an interview with VIP Magazine, Goldberg delved into her creative process and the themes that inspired them, including the epigenetics of trauma, chosen family, and the unique challenges women in their thirties face.
The story takes place in Toronto, Canada, where Sare experiences the loss of her mother. Following the death of her mother, she learns that her biological father is not the man she thought he was. Instead, her real father is an Irish busker whom her mother met three decades ago during a backpacking adventure. Determined to connect with her new heritage, Sare sets out on a journey to Ireland to find her father, only to discover the existence of a half-sister she never knew she had. Meanwhile, in Dublin, Suze's life is falling apart. She has lost her partner, her apartment, her job and even her sense of dignity. On her 37th birthday, her life takes an unexpected turn when her Canadian half-sister appears on the scene. Sare convinces a reluctant Suze to embark on a road trip across Ireland in search of her alcoholic father. Bound within the four walls of a dilapidated ice cream van, the sisters undergo a baptism of fire, eventually forging an unbreakable bond. Along the way, they learn that sometimes the family we choose can be the most impactful in our lives.
The characters of Sare and Suze are inspired by the contrasting yet complementary friendship dynamics of Goldberg and Stanley. Stanley shared with VIP Magazine that when they met, she was a tough and bitter Irishwoman, while Goldberg exuded confidence and luminosity as a self-assured Canadian who fully accepted herself.
With "SisterS," viewers can expect a compelling mix of comedy and drama, infused with the personal experiences and unique perspectives of the show's creators and stars. This up-and-coming series invites audiences to immerse themselves in the heartfelt and often hilarious journey of two sisters as they navigate their shared past, present challenges, and the power of the Chosen Family.
Stay tuned for the premiere of "SisterS," where Sarah Goldberg, Susan Stanley, and the talented cast and crew bring this captivating story to life, reminding us all of the enduring bond and extraordinary dynamic that defines sisterhood.
