Sarah Chalke (Scrubs) and Golden Globe nominee Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy) lead this buddy drama as childhood friends who have always been there for each other... until something threatens to come between them.

The greatest love story of all can be between friends. When unlikely duo Tully (Heigl) and Kate (Chalke) meet at age fourteen, they couldn’t be more different. Tully is the brash and bold girl you can’t ignore, while Kate is the mousy shy girl you never notice. But when a tragedy brings them together, they are bonded for life — forever inseparable best friends. Together they experience thirty years of ups and downs — triumphs and disappointments, heartbreak and joy, and a love triangle that strains their friendship. One goes on to fabulous wealth and fame, the other chooses marriage and motherhood — but through the decades, their bond remains — until it faces the ultimate test.

"Firefly Lane loses out on much of its potential emotional resonance by getting lost in its own narrative trickery."

—

Variety

"For all its flaws, Firefly Lane succeeds at rooting its story in a very specific generation and a very specific type of woman."

—

A.V. Club

"Firefly Lane would be entirely forgettable without Heigl and Chalke - which is both a compliment and a disappointment."

—

Entertainment Weekly

"The dramatic beats of Firefly Lane simply aren't made for binge watching."

—

Paste

"Ten impossibly fast episodes fly by without them saying anything profound, even in relation to the political eras they occupy, but manage to keep us invested in the lives of two small-town women who are just trying to get by."
