NBC's "Parenthood" TV show comes from the executive producers of the box-office hit "Parenthood," Ron Howard and Brian Grazer (Oscar winners for "A Beautiful Mind"), and writer/executive producer Jason Katims ("Friday Night Lights"). This contemporary re-imagining of the blockbuster film depicts the colorful and imperfect Braverman family: four grown siblings sharing the headaches, heartaches, and joy of being parents. The star-studded cast of NBC's "Parenthood" TV show includes Peter Krause, Maura Tierney, Craig T. Nelson, Dax Shepard, Bonnie Bedelia, Monica Potter, Erika Christensen and Mae Whitman.

When Sarah Braverman (Tierney, "ER"), a financially strapped single mother, returns home to her parents and siblings in Berkeley, California on NBC's "Parenthood" TV series, after packing up her Fresno apartment and uprooting her two inconvenienced kids, Amber (Whitman, "In Treatment") and Drew (Miles Heizer, "ER"), she is greeted by her opinionated father, Zeek (Nelson, "Family Stone," "Coach"), and strong mother, Camille (Bedelia, "Heart Like A Wheel"), who are privately dealing with their own marital issues. As Sarah is reunited with her siblings—sister, Julia (Christensen, "Traffic"), and brothers Crosby (Shepard, "Baby Mama") and Adam (Krause, "Six Feet Under")—all struggling with issues of their own, it's clear that the Braverman reunion on NBC's "Parenthood" TV series is just what they need to face the everyday challenges of modern family life.

NBC's "Parenthood" TV show is a production from Imagine Entertainment and Universal Media Studios. Emmy winner Thomas Schlamme ("The West Wing") directs the pilot for NBC's "Parenthood" TV series.
