Mom Season 8 Opening on CBS All Access at November 5, 2020
Comedy, Drama, Romance / TV-Series (2013)
Gemma Baker (co-creator) promises Anna Faris’ character Christy Plunkett will receive a satisfying farewell in season 8 of the CBS sitcom. Following a dysfunctional mother and daughter duo, portrayed by Faris and Allison Janney, Mom premiered on CBS in 2013 and quickly earned praise for its deft handling of difficult subjects like drug addiction and relapse. In Christy (Faris) and Bonnie (Janney), the sitcom has explored thorny issues while maintaining its sense of humor.
Christy decided to follow her dreams of studying law when audiences last saw her. Though that may seem like a natural starting point for a new set of storylines, Faris announced in September that she would be leaving Mom to pursue other career opportunities. This has left an open question of how the comedy will change without one of its leads. The answer has become a little clearer, thanks to an update from co-creator Gemma Baker.
