Vida is a half-hour drama series focusing on two Mexican-American sisters from the Eastside of Los Angeles who couldn’t be more different or distanced from each other. But when the sisters are forced to return home, they are confronted by the past and surprising truth about their mother’s identity. (x)

Showrunner Tanya Saracho (Looking, How to Get Away with Murder) said, “Vida is Latinx, but it’s a queer show. The show’s story is my vida, my life. […] I wanted an all-Latinx writers room. All the directors are women of color or Latinx. My (collaborating) executive at Starz has a ‘z’ in her last name, Fernandez. There, I don’t have to be a cultural ambassador.” (x)

Vida premieres May 6 on Starz
