What is Central Park about?

Central Park is a spectacular American animated musical sitcom that began airing in May 2020 as part of Apple TV+'s highly-anticipated original programming portfolio. It was developed by Loren Bouchard, Nora Smith, and Josh Gad. Its narrative is built around the Tillerman family who reside in New York City's iconic landmark, Central Park, where patriarch Owen, serves as the park's manager, and his journalist wife, Paige, reports on happenings in the park. Their children, Molly and Cole, lend their youthful charm to the narrative as well. The central tension comes from the antagonistic hotel heiress Bitsy Brandenham, who desires to turn the park into condos for personal gain. A fascinating blend of comedy, drama, and music, the series is known for its highly engaging plotlines, stellar voice acting - featuring acclaimed actors like Leslie Odom Jr., Stanley Tucci, Kathryn Hahn, and more - and impressive musical numbers which reinforce the emotional tenor of the narrative. The show brilliantly explores themes related to family, community, and public space through clever storytelling and heartwarming humor. Central Park serves as a testament to the diversity of life found within urban landscapes, and the enduring value of the spaces we share in a community.

The first episode of Central Park aired on May 29, 2020 and the most recent episode to air was on November 17, 2022.
