Crave Original series NESTING, created by Rosa Labordé (The Spencer Sisters, Sensitive Skin) and Anna Hardwick (Mrs. America, Murdoch Mysteries), is releasing on Crave December 22, 2023. The series is comprised of eight eight-minute episodes directed by Emmy award-winning Allana Harkin (Full Frontal with Samantha Bee). Key cast include the creators Hardwick and Labordé, as well as Salvatore Antonio (Schitt’s Creek, Mary Kills People), Samer Salem (Yellowjackets, The Expanse), Ryan Allen (Titans, Five Days at Memorial), Paul Popowich (Spencer Sisters), Lisa Berry (Slasher, Supernatural), Carlos Gonzalez-Vio (The Hot Zone), Nicola Correia-Damude (The Boys, Shadowhunters), Rachel Wilson (The Hardy Boys), Alex Castillo (Rabbit Hole), and Mike Shara (Ride).
Anna and Rosa – loosely inspired by the series stars and creators Anna Hardwick and Rosa Laborde – are unlikely best friends for whom the romantic comedy dream hasn’t panned out. They have no house, no partner, and no baby. On the bright side, they have each other! Episode by episode, they clumsily, and comically, set out on a hunt for a baby daddy to fertilize their drying-up eggs, all while searching for affordable housing to nest in, so they can co-parent in their version of a family. Slowly, and surprisingly, their platonic friendship begins to feel romantic in this provocative, funny, and unflinching web series about fertility, friendship, the housing crisis, and a mysterious little thing called love. All eight episodes drop on Friday, December 22.
“Nine years ago, at a friend’s engagement party, we were commiserating over our disastrous dating lives and wondering if we’d ever find our person and have a family. Our mutual rumination was kinda wrecking the party so we hatched a plan: if we were in the same place in a few years we’d move in and have a baby together. We agreed it was an amazing idea…for a show. And that’s how Nesting was born.” – Rosa Labordé & Anna Hardwick
