Series Overview
LIVING THE DREAM is Sky Original Production for Sky 1 and TV streaming service NOW TV from Big Talk Productions.
The Pembertons are now settled in Florida for good. Mal & Jen (Philip Glenister & Lesley Sharp) are dealing with the aftermath of a hurricane at Kissimmee Sunshine Park and have spruced up the place with a new café, the Tornado Tearoom. They’ve also stopped living above their means and have downsized to another house. But it’s not like the old neighbourhood, and they are woken in the night by the sound of gunfire. When Mal checks it out, it’s their new neighbour, Connie (Elena Saurel), shotgun in hand. It gets him thinking he needs a gun of his own. Jen’s not keen, to put it mildly.
The kids, Tina (Rosie Day) and Freddie (Brenock O’Connor) are still at high school but facing challenges of their own. Tina’s got to find a way to dump her boring boyfriend Conan (Skylar McNamee) without hurting his feelings, which includes trying to get him to go to college as far away as possible. And Freddie falls for the new girl in class, Madison (Daisy Fairclough), who shares his love of music, but is a very bad influence on him, leading him astray from day one.
With Troy now up and gone from the Park, his lot has been taken by a mysterious new resident, Marvin Pepper (Leslie David Baker). Aiden (Leslie Jordan) doesn’t like the sound of him one bit, until he actually meets him and realises he is a local cop, who’s been thrown out of his home by his third wife for having an affair. Marvin comes in all guns blazing when Ryan (John Crosby) and Dorothy (Regina Curtin) go off the rails, but he soon settles into park life, and becomes a friendly confidante to Mal.
Throughout the series, Mal’s troubles just keep coming, as he fights to keep the Park afloat. He’s told that he has to employ more Americans and has to fire Jen and employ the bright-eyed Stacee (Jessica Ellerby) to take her place. Jen’s furious, but finds her own work as a physio to controversial star golfer, TJ Starmer (Joseph May), without telling Mal. Mal also has the constant threat of Mayor Herman Bloch (David de Vries) bearing down on him. He’s been making noises about wanting to close down all RV Parks in the run-up to his re-election. It’s going to be a fight for to the death all the way to Election Day.
LIVING THE DREAM returns as a big-hearted comedy-drama about the US-UK culture clash, full of hilarious storylines and warm, well-observed characters. Now in its second series, it gives us the comedy of what it’s like to live and work as a Brit in the sunshine state of Florida, and the drama of being in a world of guns, drugs, and the ever-present threat of survival for Mal and his family.
