A Friend of The Family

[Kairi HoHo]

Synopsis: A Friend of the Family is based on the harrowing true story of the Broberg family, whose daughter Jan was kidnapped multiple times over a period of years by a charismatic, obsessed family “friend.” The Brobergs — devoted to their faith, family, and community — were utterly unprepared for the sophisticated tactics their neighbor used to exploit their vulnerabilities, drive them apart, and turn their daughter against them. This is the story of how their lives were permanently altered — and how they survived.

Loving this Cast so hard. Paquin, Lacy, Hanks, Grace. Grace I keep telling people this young lady is going to be a Mega Star. Majority of people know her from Ghostbusters Afterlife, but I first saw her in the Bad Seed on Lifetime and last Week they debuted the Sequel to that Film.​

They somehow made Colin Hanks look older than his dad.

And Broberg sounds so made up....but this was true?

From what I read it is.

A Friend of the Family

is created by Nick Antosca (The Act), who serves as executive producer, showrunner and writer. In an official statement, Antosca says that, much like most of us, he had the tendency to wonder “how could these parents have let this happen?” He reveals, however, that the more he talked with the family, the more he realized they had simply been the victims of a master manipulator. The showrunner states that the series is a horror story, but also about survival, and it’s “more relatable than it first seems.” From the narrative standpoint, Antosca revealed the series’ thriller aspect is equal parts obsessive relationships, family drama, and a “nightmarish” coming-of-age story.

Dude was abusing this girl and hanging out with the family later like it was nothing. I expect to highly pissed when he starts manipulating Jan and abusing her it's going to be interesting what they do and don't show in this Series considering Grace is only 16 in real life.
