An official selection of the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, This Close is a groundbreaking relationship dramedy created, written, and starring Shoshannah Stern and Josh Feldman, both of whom are deaf. This honest, funny and endearing show explores the universal and relatable themes of love and friendship — in its many forms.
In season two, Kate (Stern) and Michael (Feldman) are determined to reboot their friendship. But what’s that they say about best laid plans? Kate’s past returns to haunt her in surprising ways as she finds her voice at work. Michael tries to walk the straight and narrow path, but everyone sees the truth except for him. With the return of old flames and distant parents, Kate and Michael are going to have to lean on each other or fall apart.

They join guest stars Zach Gilford, Colt Prattes, Marlee Matlin, Cheryl Hines, Nyle DiMarco, and Moshe Kasher who will reprise their roles from season one.
