Legacies

Legacies is a new TV series that will premiere on March 15, 2016. It follows the lives of three families through the decades, and their stories are intertwined in unexpected ways. The show’s creators have been busy with interviews to promote this event, which has led to some interesting tidbits about Legacies being revealed!

The show is based on a novel of the same name by author Isabelle Allende.

One of the main characters, Amantha (played by actress Penelope Mitchell), has been compared to an American version of Lyra from Philip Pullman’s acclaimed trilogy His Dark Materials. She also bears some resemblance to Lord Asriel and Mrs. Coulter in those books!

Tony Award winner Nate Debra Messing was cast as Olivia, one of the matriarchs at the center of this story who raises her daughter with help from new friends amid tragedy and triumph. Tony winner name Josh Charles will play Mason Jervis, Olivia’s confidant, and love interest; his character struggles between family and ambition.

Tony Award winner Nate Annette O’Toole will play Julia Lambert, a wealthy and powerful woman who has ambitions of her own; while the role is currently being kept under wraps, we know that she will be Mason Jervis’ boss at an ad agency in San Francisco.

Emma Dumont stars as Penelope Reyes-Fitzgerald, Olivia’s daughter whose love for dance inspires much of what happens to all around her – which includes her mother’s new relationship with community leader Roberto (played by actor Valentin Trujillo). Actor Rick Gomez also plays Luis Rivera on this show – he is the man responsible for transforming Amantha from victim into survivor!

Penelope Mitchell says one reason she signed onto the role of Olivia is that “the show has a lot to say about female sexuality.”

Olivia’s story is so much more than her daughter Penelope’s, and it will be fascinating to see how things play out when she starts working with Mason Jervis (played by actor Shane Graham) at an ad agency in San Francisco. One thing we know for sure? The love triangle that unfolds between these three characters – including Roberto, played by Valentin Trujillo – should make for dramatic television!
