So “Meet the Mayfarers” moves in a new direction today. The story so far has been one continuous ensemble of the family struggling to live together to get the inheritance.

Every few months or so however, we focus on one of the characters in their own story outside of the main plot.  This first one, “The Penguin Chronicles” showcases Nick’s struggles in the entertainment business, made even more difficult now that he’s living at home.

Since the show has been shooting on a fairly regular basis now for over a year and a half, I wanted to make sure we’d be able to film even if we couldn’t get the entire family cast together. That was the genesis of these “Solo” episodes. Even though they are stand alone pieces,  a lot of the plots and characters introduced here are woven into the main ensemble episodes down the road.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little narrative detour in the show.
