Plot Synopsis

PIVOTING is a half-hour comedy series about how we deal with life, death and all the crazy things that happen in between. Set in a small, middle-class town in Long Island, NY, the series follows three women -- and close-knit childhood friends -- as they cope with the death of the fourth member of their group. When faced with the reality that life is short, these women pivot, and alter their current paths, by way of a series of impulsive, ill-advised and self-indulgent decisions. These pivots will strengthen their bond and prove it's never too late to screw up your life in the pursuit of happiness. For Amy, the fearless producer of a local cooking show, managing a hundred employees comes easily. Yet, when it comes to caring for her own children, she's absolutely terrified. Despite her lack of maternal instincts, her husband, Henry, a contractor who never loses his cool, perfectly counter-balances Amy in all of her flaws. Her pivot is to be a more active, present mother. Jodie is a stay-at-home mom of three in a loveless marriage. Her husband is a controlling, finance-obsessed jerk, but Jodie has never even considered that the grass might be greener anywhere else. When she does, her pivot means getting in shape... and maybe more with her hot 27-year-old trainer, Matt, who gives her the attention and excitement she didn't realize she had been craving for years. Sarah is a successful doctor -- an MD and PhD, as she will readily let anyone know. For Sarah, the loss of their friend is compounded by the recent divorce from her wife. After a life filled with stress, Sarah is sent into a tailspin, that launches her pivot to a simpler, and thus happier life -- working as a grocery store employee. PIVOTING premiered on Sunday, January 9, 2022 at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT on FOX before moving to its regular timeslot -- Thursdays at 9:30pm -- beginning January 13.
