NEW YORK, Sept. 6 -- Acceptance, unconditional love and
identity struggles take center stage as the Carlin family continue on their
journey of honesty and self-discovery in the fast-paced City of Angels.
South of Nowhere, The N's original teen drama from The Tom Lynch Co.,
returns with a second season of 13 new half-hour episodes kicking off with
a one-hour special on Friday, September 29 at 9:00 p.m. (ET), immediately
following the one-hour premiere of Degrassi: The Next Generation at 8:00
p.m. (ET).
"We are proud to present season two of South of Nowhere, a series whose
authentic treatment and portrayal of the complex issues of identity
continue to engage and entertain our audience," said Sarah Tomassi Lindman,
Vice President, Production and Programming, The N. "We hope teens will
continue to enjoy the drama as they follow each character's personal
struggle to define who they are and who they want to be."
"We really wanted this series to resonate with teens on an emotional
level, so obviously I'm thrilled with the incredible audience response to
season one," said creator-executive producer Tom Lynch. "In season two,
we'll continue to explore provocative issues through realistic characters
and rich storylines that accurately reflect the complicated challenges
facing young people today. So I'd like to say to all our fans: Prepare for
season two - It's going to rock your world!"
Emotions run deep and nothing is off limits, including ex-boyfriends,
on the premiere episode of South of Nowhere. Spencer (Gabrielle Christian)
accepts her sexuality, falls in love for the first time and seeks
acceptance, understanding and reconciliation from her family, while her
mother Paula does everything in her power to divert Spencer's infatuation
with Ashley including bringing her best friend Debbie to Los Angeles from
Ohio.
Ashley (Mandy Musgrave) copes with the sudden death of her father and
the arrival of her long lost sister, Kyla (played by newcomer Eileen
Boylan). Ashley and Kyla will have to live as sisters in the same home, go
to the same school and share their lives in order to inherit their father's
multi-million dollar estate. But when Kyla and Aiden (Matthew Cohen) strike
up a romance, can Ashley truly look the other way?
The Carlin boys will face their own world of difficulty. After re-
connecting with his birth mother, adopted son Clay (Danso Gordon) begins to
question his relationships with his family, friends and girlfriend Chelsea
(Aasha Davis). Glen's (Chris Hunter) life begins to spiral out of control
when he sustains a basketball injury that will keep him on the bench
permanently and ends his chances for a scholarship to Duke University.
Realizing that Glen's basketball career looks glum, girlfriend Madison
(Valery Ortiz) calls it quits and quickly tries to reconcile with past love
Aiden. Glen will face his biggest challenge yet when a growing addiction to
pain killers gets out of control and he confronts an uncertain future in
Los Angeles.
South of Nowhere is a fictional story about a contemporary American
family and their multi-faceted journey of self-discovery. Set in Los
Angeles, the series chronicles the five members of the Carlin family as
they try to define themselves and make sense of their lives while they
undergo a huge transition -- moving from a small town in Ohio to the big
city of Los Angeles. The Carlins find they are unprepared for the
fast-paced, metropolitan environment and the overcrowded, "anything goes"
L.A. public school the family's three teenagers attend. The family is at
the heart of the series and while their characters are unique, they reflect
many American families today -- bound by their evolving identity and their
close relationships.
