A late-blooming, high-spirited woman in her early 30s takes her first real step toward independence, only to discover that freedom requires boundaries she's never been taught to set, especially with the people she loves most.

Comedic in rhythm, dramatic in truth, No One Like Us follows Lisa and her tight-knit circle of friends as love, obligation, and identity collide. In the lineage of The Jeffersons, Living Single, and Insecure, with a modern answer to the myth that your 30s are supposed to look figured out.

No One Like Us began as a digital sitcom and has since expanded into an original American dramedy with a completed pilot script and additional development materials.
