Encyclopedic overview
Mom is an American television sitcom created by Chuck Lorre, Eddie Gorodetsky and Gemma Baker that aired for eight seasons on CBS from September 23, 2013, to May 13, 2021. Set in Napa, California, it follows dysfunctional mother/daughter duo Bonnie and Christy Plunkett, who, after having been estranged for years while both struggled with addiction, attempt to pull their lives together by trying to stay sober. It stars Anna Faris and Allison Janney, with Mimi Kennedy, Jaime Pressly, Beth Hall, William Fichtner, Sadie Calvano, Blake Garrett Rosenthal, Matt Jones, French Stewart and Kristen Johnston in supporting roles.
Unlike most multi-camera sitcoms on CBS, Mom utilized serialized storytelling that had overarching storylines that continued over multiple episodes and across multiple seasons, and past events would often be referenced later in the series. The characters often experienced events that contained dramatic emotional weight and experienced character development consequential to the series' plot, making the series more in line with a comedy-drama rather than a traditional sitcom. The series was filmed in front of a live audience and produced by Chuck Lorre Productions and Warner Bros. Television.
