One Big Happy

Overview
Lizzy, a meticulous lesbian, and Luke, her easygoing straight best friend, share an unbreakable bond forged during their childhood amid parental divorces. As adults, both remain single yet yearn for a family. They embark on a unique journey to parenthood, opting for a platonic approach to baby-making rather than romantic entanglements. Their decision leads to a series of comedic and heartfelt moments as they navigate the challenges of blending friendship with the complexities of starting a family. The duo’s dynamic offers a refreshing take on love, friendship, and family.
