LOVE HER TO DEATH
By Elle Bolan

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE: A warm-hearted Southern comedy surrounding Elaine "Mimi" Carter - a newly retired grandmother whose overly protective family may just love her all the way into her grave.

SYNOPSIS:

Mimi Carter (53), newly retired, finally wants time for herself — to read a book, take a bath, maybe travel — but her adult children, their spouses, grandkids, and pets adore her too much to let her go. Every attempt at independence becomes a new tangle of domestic absurdity. It’s a show about being too loved to breathe — and realizing that’s the best kind of suffocation. The pilot opens with a breakfast scene that defines the series tone: Mimi and her daughter attempt adult conversation amid an escalating zoo of toddlers, pets, and half-burned waffles. The dialogue overlaps with the chaos — not despite it, but through it. It’s the sound of a family that loves too loudly to function. By the end of the episode, Mimi's first day of retirement goes awry when her overbearing children file a missing person's report because Mimi hasn't answered her phone. These grown kids might just be the death of her. Mimi navigates her much too loved life over the course of four hilarious seasons.
