American Woman
Created by John Riggi
A warm, character-driven period dramedy about female friendship and self-discovery in the 1970s, balancing comedic lightness with genuine stakes around independence and identity.
This 1970s period dramedy inspired by the real life Kyle Richards and set amid the sexual revolution and the rise of second-wave feminism follows Bonnie, an unconventional mother struggling to raise her two daughters after leaving her husband. With the help of her two best friends, Kathleen and Diana, these three women will each discover their own brand of independence in a world reluctant to give it.
