'A Million Little Things' Season 2: Release date, plot, cast, trailer and everything you need to know about ABC's family drama

Created by DJ Nash, 'A Million Little Things' season two stars an ensemble cast including David Giuntoli, Romany Malco, Allison Miller and Christina Moses

Bring out your tissue boxes and prepare to cry your heart out as 'A Million Little Things' returns to ABC with a second season. Created by DJ Nash, the series stars an ensemble cast including David Giuntoli, Romany Malco, Allison Miller, and Christina Moses. 

While season one had 17 episodes, the second chapter's number will go up by two more. "ABC actually wanted 22 episodes," Nash reveals. I wanted 18. We [compromised] with 19," he told TV Line and added that he did so in order to retain the authenticity.

"I feel like the compliment our show gets that mean the most to me is that it's authentic. The thing I love most about our show is flipping cards. For instance, you think Katherine [Grace Park] is horrible and she ends up being someone you love. We flip cards — that's how we're built. I don't want to flip cards so much that it feels inauthentic."

Release date

ABC officially announced that the second season of 'A Million Little Things' will premiere on Thursday, September 26, at 9 pm as part of the network's fall TV lineup. 

Plot

Set in Boston, the series revolves around a close-knit circle of friends who are shocked after a member of their group commits suicide. The show chronicles how it is a wake-up call to each member and how they cope up with his loss. The title refers to the thought that "friendship isn't a big thing—it's a million little things."

The official plot summary of the series reads: "A group of friends struggling in life get a wake-up call to finally start living after one of them dies unexpectedly."
