Mae and Harold hand their working farm to their spoiled grandkids with a five-year challenge: keep it running or lose it forever. Unbeknownst to the kids, the farm animals are fully fluent in sarcasm — and plotting when to finally speak up...literally!

SYNOPSIS:

Series Synopsis – Cluck, This Is Hard When sharp-witted, no-nonsense Mae Thompson (think Margo Martindale) and her quietly rugged husband Harold (think Harrison Ford) decide it’s time to hit the road in their RV, they don’t sell their family farm — they hand the keys to their three spoiled, unprepared twenty-something grandchildren.

The deal: live on the farm, run it, keep a job or finish school, and stick it out until the youngest turns 25. Fail, and the multi-million-dollar property (and their inheritance) goes right back to Mae and Harold — along with a lifetime of I told you so’s.

Thrown into a world of early mornings, stubborn livestock, and Wi-Fi dead zones, city-raised Emma, Dylan, and Kai quickly discover that farm life isn’t just quaint sunrises and Instagrammable moments — it’s mud, sweat, and figuring out how to keep a goat off the roof of the RV.

What the grandkids don’t know? The animals actually talk — and not just to each other. They talk to Mae and Harold. They listen to every conversation, fully understanding the chaos, and have plenty of sharp commentary about it. But Mae and Harold aren’t about to spill the secret. The animals have agreed they’ll only speak to the kids when they’ve truly earned their trust.

From grumpy old Walter the horse to chaos-loving Pickles the goat, these animals aren’t just background — they’re full-fledged characters with their own opinions, schemes, and a front-row seat to the grandkids’ crash course in responsibility.

With a rotating cast of family drop-ins (including overprotective mom Rachel — think Kristen Wiig, and level-headed Val — think Connie Britton), the grandkids must juggle clashing personalities, constant curveballs, and the ever-present threat of losing it all.

At its heart, Cluck, This Is Hard is a warm, sarcastic, fish-out-of-water family comedy about finding common ground, growing up (finally), and realizing that — like the town of Cedarbrook says — “You’ll leave, but you’ll always come back.”
