About Meet the Newmans
For two decades, the Newmans have played idealised versions of themselves on America’s favourite family show. By 1964, ratings are collapsing and each family member is hiding a secret. After creator Del Newman’s mysterious car accident, his wife Dinah hires outspoken reporter Juliet Dunne to help write the finale—and challenge everything their polished image represents.
