Watch the Premiere of WEIGHT

TV Insider



Weight is a new comedy from the mind of Writers Guild Award nominee Daryn Strauss which picks up as Claire (three-time Emmy winner Martha Byrne), a middle class mom, returns home from a reality weight loss competition 100 pounds lighter but finds she’s gained some extra baggage due to the complicated reactions of her dysfunctional family and friends. The smart comedy in the vein of Little Miss Sunshine combines America’s obsession with weight loss and reality television for a look at how weight can bring together and also divide people.

The dramedy examines the complications that ensue as Claire attempts to balance her new regimen and newfound fame/infamy with the realities of needy children, a stressed out husband, nosy relatives, a competitive sibling, judgmental friends, food temptations, and her own unraveling mind, as she deals with the day to day pressures of staying thin and appearing on a reality show. 

The pilot is directed by network television veteran director and producer Frederick King Keller (24, Blue Bloods, New York Undercover).
