Facebook Watch has released the trailer to its upcoming drama Sorry For Your Loss, starring Elizabeth Olsen, Janet McTeer, Kelly Marie Tran, Jovan Adepo, & Mamoudou Athie.
Created by Kit Steinkellner, Sorry For Your Loss premieres Tuesday, September 18 with four episodes. Two new episodes will be available every Tuesday at 6PM PT/9PM ET on the Sorry For Your Loss show page on Facebook Watch.
Directors include James Ponsoldt, Azazel Jacobs, Jamie Babbit, Hannah Fidell, Rose Troche, Jessica Yu, and Allison Anders.
Sorry For Your Loss is a half hour drama on Facebook Watch that stars Elizabeth Olsen as Leigh Shaw, a young widow struggling to put her life back together in the wake of her husband’s unexpected death.
Adepo will play Danny, a razor-sharp, constantly simmering, darkly funny, difficult to read, and on the whole just plain difficult dude. Danny always thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, and by his pretty specific and relatively narrow definition of intelligence, he usually is the smartest person in the room.
Athie plays Matt, the kind of handsome that doesn’t make a big deal out of itself, the kind of warm and funny that makes everyone feel more comfortable in their own skin. Matt was as accessible as Leigh was difficult, everybody’s best friend, five minutes into having a conversation with him, you were his best friend too.
Tran will portray Jules, Leigh’s younger sister, described as the most fun girl at a party, and the hardest to live with. In the face of her brother-in-law’s death, Jules is not only fighting day-by-day to maintain her sobriety, but also struggling to evolve out of the role of the well-meaning disaster in her family.
Janet McTeer plays Amy, the mother of Leigh and Jules.
The show is simultaneously devastating and uplifting, with grounded, flawed characters desperate to find humor anywhere they can. The series dives into grief as an unavoidable, universal, transformative part of life. Leigh’s journey will teach us that grief is not something merely to endure, medicate away or “muscle through,” but an essential part of the human experience.
