Some first glimpses of “Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City” with Laura Linney, Olympia Dukakis and Ellen Page!
I cannot tell you what the Tales of the City books and miniseries have meant to me over the years. I discovered them at a closeted time in my life and they were just everything.
Earlier today, Netflix released the first look at the upcoming original limited series Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City which will be premiering this summer.
It begins a new chapter in the beloved story. Mary Ann (Laura Linney) returns to present-day San Francisco and is reunited with her daughter Shawna (Ellen Page) and ex-husband Brian (Paul Gross), twenty years after leaving them behind to pursue her career. Fleeing the midlife crisis that her picture-perfect Connecticut life created, Mary Ann is quickly drawn back into the orbit of Anna Madrigal (Olympia Dukakis), her chosen family and a new generation of queer young residents living at 28 Barbary Lane.
When this is released, I’m going to clear my calendar and just savor every moment.

It would be nice if they’d play the original Tales of the City from back in to 1990’s too.
Charlie says:
I would love to see Olympia in more things. She is so talented. I love her work in “Steel Magnolias”.

Where’s Michael “Mouse?”

time to re-read all 9 tales volumes and re-visit all three movies before this new one comes out. I am so excited. Bless you Mr. Maupin for all your fine fine work.

Such welcome news! I adored the original series. Very, very excited that Murray Bartlett will be playing Mouse. Any ideas who will play Dr. Fielding?
