Living the Dream (2017-19)
Living the Dream tells the story of the Pemberton family (Mal, Jen and their two teenage children Tina and Freddie) who decide it’s time to leave rainy England and move to the sunshine state of Florida.
Mal buys an RV Park with plans for a booming family-run business, but it soon turns out that they are not going to be living the dream they hoped. Before they’ve even settled in, Mal discovers that the park is home to a group of eccentric residents who are not exactly thrilled to meet their new owners. Jen has to learn how to survive American suburbia and the kids have to navigate a US high school. With culture clashes aplenty, life in Britain soon seems even further away than they’d thought it would. But with the support of each other and their crazy new friends, they begin to learn how to live the American dream.
Series 1 aired in November 2017 and series 2 followed in January 2019.
