NBC’s set to debut the new half-hour comedy The New Normal on September 11, 2012. Justin Bartha and Andrew Rannells star as a couple who believe their lives would be complete if they added a baby.
Ellen Barkin stars as Nana, Georgia King plays Goldie, Bebe Wood is Shania, and NeNe Leakes plays Rocky.
The Plot: These days, families come in all forms – single dads, double moms, sperm donors, egg donors, one-night-stand donors… It’s 2012 and anything goes. Bryan (Rannells) and David (Bartha) are a Los Angeles couple and they have it all. Well, almost. With successful careers and a committed, loving partnership, there is one thing that this couple is missing: a baby.
And just when they think the stars will never align, enter Goldie (Georgia King), an extraordinary young woman with a checkered past. A midwestern waitress and single mother looking to escape her dead-end life and small-minded grandmother (Ellen Barkin), Goldie decides to change everything and move to L.A. with her precocious eight-year-old daughter. Desperate and broke – but also fertile – Goldie quickly becomes the guys’ surrogate and quite possibly the girl of their dreams. Surrogate mother, surrogate family.
