What’s This TV Show About?
A sitcom airing on the NBC television network, Great News stars Briga Heelan, Andrea Martin, John Michael Higgins, Nicole Richie, Adam Campbell, Horatio Sanz, and Tracey Wigfield. The series follows 30 year old Katie Wendelson (Heelan). Bright, determined, and resourceful, Katie is a news producer on The Breakdown, a national cable news show out of Secaucus, New Jersey, but feels like her career trajectory has stalled. Meanwhile, Katie’s mother Carol (Martin) has both boundary issues and a new internship on her show. Although Katie isn’t thrilled with this development, she appreciates Carol’s support and faith in her.
