Premiering around the globe starting on Family Channel in Canada on March 24th, followed by CBBC in the UK, RAI Gulp in Italy, ARD/KIKA in Germany and HBOMax in US, Home Sweet Rome is a coming-of-age series about a 13-year-old girl who moves from the US to start a new life in Rome with her dad and Italian pop star step-mother, Francesca.
Lucy will learn to adapt to her new city, new school, and new life with a famous step-mom, all while going through the growing pains of being a 13 year-old girl, with the additional challenge of her best friend, Kyla, being 6000 miles away.
Based on a concept by Michael Poryes (Hannah Montana, That’s So Raven), the series is developed by the duo Matt Huether and Courtney Jane Walker (DeGrassi: Next Class), that will also serve as showrunners. Shot entirely on location in Rome, each episode will feature original songs, written by Alex Geringas and Chen Neeman.
