YOUNG AMERICANS
Young Americans is a sharp, fast moving dramedy following the youngest congressman ever elected to office, sworn in on his 25th birthday and thrown headfirst into the chaos of Washington. The pilot explores his rise, the pressure of sudden power, and the tight knit circle that rallies around him as he navigates ego, ambition, and the absurdity of modern politics. Energetic, stylish, and character driven, Young Americans plays like HBO’s Entourage-East, blending political hustle with the swagger and humor of a friendship first story.
