Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Adlon took over full creative control after Louis C.K.'s departure, transforming the show into an unapologetic examination of female middle age rarely seen on television.
The three daughters are played by actual non-actors Adlon found through casting calls—Hannah Riley was discovered at a skate park, which explains Frankie's entire energy.
