TV Insider has exclusively revealed the brand new key art for the upcoming 8th Season of The Middle and it looks great, what do you think it? Share your thoughts below.
“THE MIDDLE” (Tuesdays from 8:00-8:30 p.m. ET)
Two-time Emmy-winner Patricia Heaton stars in this warm and witty single-camera comedy about raising a family and lowering your expectations. Middle-aged, middle class and living in the middle of the country in Orson, Indiana, Frankie Heck is a harried wife and mother of three who uses her wry wit and sense of humor to get her family through each day intact. Frankie works as a dental assistant, and her unflappable husband, Mike, is manager at the local quarry and her sardonic partner in the daily grind that is raising their average – yes, most definitely average – family.
This year, the kids will find themselves breaking out of their comfort zones and navigating new situations than what they’re used to – which may or may not be very comforting to Frankie and Mike.
Between juggling shifts and picking up fast-food dinners eaten in front of the TV, Frankie and Mike raise their kids with love, humor and solid Midwestern practicality. Axl, the oldest, is a jock slacker who is beginning his senior year of college via a sports scholarship. He lives near campus in a Winnebago with his friend and teammate, Hutch, and silent gamer Kenny. Over the summer, Axl found the love of his life in April, a local Orson girl, and he’s so smitten with her that he’s planning on bringing her over to meet the parents. Then there’s the ever-optimistic Sue, their extraordinarily ordinary daughter, who fails at just about everything she tries with great gusto. She is still living in a dilapidated dorm room with roommate Lexie and starting her second year of college at the same campus that Axl attends. And she’s still dating Jeremy, the campus activist. But over the summer, Sue got bit by the acting bug while working at Dollywood, so she’s determined to be the next big star and is changing her major to theater. And finally there’s Brick, their quirky son, now entering high school. He continues to date the equally quirky Cindy, read constantly, whisper and “whoop” to himself, as well as unapologetically march to the beat of his own drummer. But with a new school comes the chance for a fresh start and not be considered one of the weird kids. So Brick is going to make it his mission to try and fit in with his peers – a not so simple feat.
With Axl and Sue out of the house, Frankie and Mike continue to find themselves with an emptier nest, which lets them continue to cut back on the parental duties – a hope that is still easier said than done – as parenting is never over no matter where your kids are. Balancing kids and work never really gets easier – it just gets different.
Their hilarious struggles continue, but through all the madness shines a loving family, and together the Hecks continue putting THE MIDDLE on the map.
“The Middle” stars Patricia Heaton as Frankie, Neil Flynn as Mike, Charlie McDermott as Axl, Eden Sher as Sue and Atticus Shaffer as Brick.
“The Middle” was created and is executive produced by Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline. The series is from Warner Bros. Television.
Eileen Heisler & DeANN HelINE, creators, executive producers
Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline have enjoyed a 25-year career writing on some of television’s biggest hits. They have been friends and writing partners since Heisler, who hails from a suburb of Chicago, met Heline, who comes from a suburb of Cincinnati, when they were assigned to the same dorm at Indiana University. Later they independently transferred to New York University, where they each earned B.F.As in television from NYU’s famed Tisch School of the Arts.
A break on ABC’s “Doogie Howser, MD” led to writing on the staff of “Roseanne.” During their tenure, the show won the Peabody Award, the Humanitas Prize and the Golden Globe. From there they went on to produce “Murphy Brown,” where in two consecutive years series star Candice Bergen won Emmys for episodes written by Heisler and Heline, in addition to the series’ Humanitas Prize. Heisler and Heline went on to executive produce and showrun such successful series as “Ellen” and “How I Met Your Mother.” Most recently they had several development deals during which they created and executive produced “Three Sisters,” “Committed” and “Lipstick Jungle.”
During that time they also tried, with varying success, to maintain their sanity, raise their children and find decent parking in L.A. With “The Middle,” Heisler and Heline are happy to be making a home at ABC and celebrating their roots in the Midwest – where there is always plenty of parking.
“The Middle” has received three Humanitas Prize nominations, with a win in 2016 for Heline and Heisler in the 30 Minute Category for the episode “The Graduate,” a Critics’ Choice Award nomination and a Gracie Award for Outstanding Comedy. Eden Sher recently received a Critics’ Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Sue Heck.
