Plot Synopsis

Based on Kristin Hannah's 2008 book of the same name, FIREFLY LANE is a one-hour drama series that centers on best friends Tully and Kate, who support each other through good times and bad -- with an unbreakable bond that carries them from their teens to their forties, weathering every milestone together. The story opens with Kate experiencing the force of nature that is Tully when they met as teens in 1974, at their first journalism jobs in 1982, and over a PTA crush in 2003. Executive produced by series star Katherine Heigl, the entire 10-episode first season of FIREFLY LANE debuted on Netflix on Wednesday, February 3, 2021 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT.

The 16-episode second season of FIREFLY LANE premiered on Friday, December 2, 2022, as Netflix released the first nine episodes of the new season. The final seven episodes of Season 2 debuted in 2023. Kate grapples with the painful aftermath of Johnny's ill-fated trip to Iraq, while Tully faces a lawsuit after walking away from her talk show, and must start her career over from the bottom. This leads her to search for answers about who she is and where she comes from -- including a quest to find the father she never met, against the wishes of her secretive hippie mother, Cloud. In the '80s, we see Kate and Johnny first fall in love, creating more than a little drama in the newsroom where they work, as Tully's career rises and she spars (and flirts!) with cocky sportscaster Danny Diaz. She just might have met her match -- that is, if they can stop arguing for five minutes. While in the '70s, teenage Kate and Tully struggle to keep their friendship together as Cloud goes to jail for dealing drugs and Tully goes to live with her grandmother, far away from Firefly Lane. As the girls face the tumult of high school apart, they know the one thing they really need is each other.
