WORKIN’ MOMS
Created by Catherine Reitman who also stars alongside Jessalyn Wanlim, Dani Kind, and Juno Rinaldi, “Workin’ Moms” is a Canadian television sitcom centering on a group of friends dealing with the challenges of being working mothers, the first season of which premiered on January 10, 2017.
The fifth season premiered in Canada on February 16, 2021, on CBC and in the US on Tuesday, June 15, 2021, on Netflix.
A new season brings fresh complications for Kate, Frankie, and Jenny — plus a big move for Anne, who longs for the life she left behind.
The real meat of the season focuses on the relationship between Kate and Anne, mirroring the shift in relationships many moms feel after they have kids.
“For me personally, my friendships have taken such a back seat to my job and to my family, and to my responsibilities,” creator Catherine Reitman tells TV, Eh? in an interview. “To see Kate and Anne separated — this love story that we’ve been rooting for — to see them pulled away is probably a little too real for a lot of people and I don’t think I even realized that until it aired. And so challenging that is, of course, one of the big obstacles of the season. And then we sort of turn it on its head mid-season in a way that I don’t think anyone’s going to see coming.”
