From Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television and starring Academy Award-winning actress Octavia Spencer ('The Help', 'Fruitvale Station'), Dave Annable ('Brothers & Sisters', '666 Park Avenue') and a charismatic cast of fresh faces, RED BAND SOCIETY is a provocative, unconventional and unique coming-of-age dramedy about a group of rule-bending friends and the adults who mentor them through the ups and downs of adolescence in Los Angeles' Ocean Park Hospital. Exploring everything from strong friendships, and first loves, to humorous mishaps and heartbreaks, the series is a story of life, with an edgy comedic tone all its own.
Twelve-year-old narrator CHARLIE (Griffin Gluck, 'Back in the Game', 'Private Practice') is in a coma and introduces us to this band of unlikely friends, including the 'new kid,' JORDI PALACIOS (Nolan Sotillo, 'Prom'), a 16-year-old who comes to California to seek out treatment at the renowned hospital. What Jordi soon discovers is that it's not his illness that's going to change his life, but his new friends. Also at Ocean Park is LEO ROTH (Charlie Rowe, 'Neverland', 'Pirate Radio'), the 16-year-old, charming and independent 'leader' of the group. Leo's best friend is DASH HOSNEY (Astro, 'The X Factor'), a 16-year-old 'rebel' with a big personality, who is determined not to let his cystic fibrosis stop him from living his life. Also on the ward is 15-year-old 'know-it-all' EMMA CHOTA (Ciara Bravo, 'Big Time Rush'), Leo's on-again-off-again girlfriend who is coping with an eating disorder. Rounding out this group of patients is KARA SOUDERS | | | | |
