Trailer For Netflix's San Francisco Set Limited Series TALES OF THE CITY with Laura Linney and Ellen Page
Netflix has released the first trailer for a new limited series they are producing called Tales of the City, which is inspired by the books by Armistead Maupin.
The story follows Mary Ann (Laura Linney), “who returns home to San Francisco and is reunited with her daughter (Ellen Page) and ex-husband Brian, twenty years after leaving them behind to pursue her career. Fleeing the midlife crisis that her picture-perfect Connecticut life created, Mary Ann returns home to her chosen family and will quickly be drawn back into the orbit of Anna Madrigal (Olympia Dukakis) and the residents of 28 Barbary Lane.”
The series also stars Paul Gross (Due South, Alias Grace) reprising his role as Brian Hawkins, ex-husband of Mary Ann Singleton and father of Shawna Hawkins; Murray Bartlett (Looking) playing the lovable Michael “Mouse” Tolliver, a longtime resident at Barbary Lane and Mary Ann’s best friend; Charlie Barnett (Chicago Fire) playing Mouse’s boyfriend Ben Marshall; Josiah Victoria Garcia playing the role of Jake Rodriguez, a newer resident on Barbary Lane who is a transgender man and a caregiver for Anna Madrigal; and May Hong (High Maintenance) as Jake’s long-term girlfriend Margot Park.
The series is said to spotlight LGBTQ people both in front of and behind the camera. Lauren Morelli (Orange Is the New Black) is the executive producer and showrunner of the series. Alan Poul (Six Feet Under, The Newsroom) is also a Producing Director and Executive Producer.
The 10-part Netflix original limited series will debut this June.
