Co-creator Amy Lippman tells The Times what's in store for the season finale, how to avoid 'trauma porn' in this immigrant narrative and much more.
The original “Party of Five” revolved around a group of white siblings forced to raise themselves after their parents are killed in a car crash. Nearly two decades later, Freeform’s reboot, set in Echo Park, follows the Acosta siblings as they cope with the ongoing effects of their parents being deported.The season’s penultimate episode, “Mexico,” explores the unraveling marriage between Javier and Gloria as they make a new life in their homeland.
I will say, without giving away what happens, we end the season in ways that the audience will not expect. The way we leave at the end of the season suggests a whole new story in the second season. Nothing will be the same as a result of the way we end the first season. Now, I never thought I’d do a cliffhanger, but it is a cliffhanger.
From the beginning, before anything was written, we brought in a Latinx writer to help us with very first episode. It wasn’t like we only relied on the story that had been told before, that we transposed to a Latinx family. We knew it had to have qualities that were really unique to their circumstances, so that we just couldn’t rely on what we’ve done before. Every single episode was read by everyone in the room, we had consultants, we had endless conversations about them.
This is not to besmirch the original, but this [reboot] is a better idea for a show. The circumstances are changing constantly. On the original, it was moving, but the inciting incident that defined the family became more diffused over time. I’m in my mid-50s and my father died four years ago — it feels different four years out than it did the first six months following his death. But this premise presents an ongoing issue.
