"'A Million Little Things' is about how we love one another," says actress Allison Miller

Miller spills the beans on playing Maggie, the on-set bonds she was able to create, and most importantly, doing four plays a year since the age of 14.

ABC's new show 'A Million Little Things' works on the classic old mantra - 'Everything happens for a reason.' Premiering this Wednesday, the show revolves around a group of friends and a sudden death that sparks a new vigor in them to live their lives to the fullest and do things right. Pretty neat, right? But this quest in doing things right happens to be all about looking for the reason behind the death that shakes them to the core - thus allowing the drama to unfold.

It's almost like your modern age dramatic spin on 'One Tree Hill' or 'FRIENDS', if you will. But Allison Miller, who plays the role of Maggie on the show, would beg to differ. It's so much more than just a group of friends coming together to offer love and support. Speaking to us, Allison - who has previously starred in the Netflix sensation, '13 Reasons Why' - shares everything from her character on 'A Million Little Things', the on-set bonds she was able to create, and most importantly, doing four plays a year since the age of 14.
