Life Unexpected

DramaFamily42 min per episode

Fifteen-year-old Lux has spent her life moving through foster homes and wants one thing: legal independence. But when she tracks down the birth parents she needs for the paperwork, the plan backfires. A judge places her with the mother and father who barely know her, turning a simple court request into an abrupt new family. Now Lux has to live between two adults still sorting out their own unfinished past, while trying to hold onto the self-reliance that got her this far. Britt Robertson anchors Lux’s push and pull between freedom and belonging, as every attempt to settle in brings new rules, old regrets, and hard questions about what makes someone a parent.
