New One Day at a Time Series Premieres Jan. 6 on Netflix; CBS Sports to Air Poker Special with Celebs
This is it! This is life, the one you get, so go and have a ball -- and enjoy your first look at Netflix's much-anticipated original series One Day at a Time with the season one trailer and official key art! The all-new One Day at a Time launches Friday, January 6, everywhere that Netflix is available. ... Enjoy the view! The series is a reimagining of the iconic Norman Lear's classic sitcom, One Day at a Time, that is a hilarious and heartfelt comedy that follows three generations of a Cuban-American family sometimes-reluctantly cohabitating and navigating the ups and downs of life. A newly-single mom and military veteran journeys through the triumphs and tribulations that come with raising two strong-willed, mega-millennial children, all the while enlisting the "help" of her old-school mother and her building manager-turned-invaluable confidante. Through an contemporary lens, One Day at a Time offers a glimpse at what life looks like, in good times and bad -- and how those around you somehow make it all worthwhile. Rita Moreno, Justina Machado, Stephen Tobolowsky, Todd Grinnell, Isabella Gomez and Marcel Ruiz star in this fresh take on a classic. Gloria Calderon Kellett and Mike Royce executive-produce and are co-showrunners alongside legendary executive producer Norman Lear.
