Former State Representative and founder of Fair Fight Stacy Abrams was the perfect moderator for the One Day At A Time panel. For one, she is an activist and advocate for many issues that the reimagining of the classic Norman Lear sitcom embrace, but also because she is a true fan of the show. At the beginning of the virtual panel, Abrams just wanted Rita Moreno to say her name so that she could tell her family it happened.
“Stacey Abrams! Stacey Abrams! Stacey Abrams!” Moreno playfully sang.
“Ok, that was awesome…I’m leaving now,” Abrams gushed as the rest of the cast and creators on the panel laughed.
Abrams and Moreno were joined on the PaleyFest panel by Executive Producers Mike Royce, Brent Miller & Gloria Calderon Kellett as well as stars Justina Machado, Isabella Gomez, Marcel Ruiz, Todd Grinnell, Stephen Tobolowsky, India de Beaufort, Sheridan Pierce, Ed Quinn and Raquel Justice.

There’s always been an odd quality to the idea of a multi-camera sitcom made specifically for Netflix. After all, the format has never been designed for bingeing — in the days of Norman Lear, episodes were designed to be watched casually, even out of order, week after week.
Gloria Calderon Kellett and Mike Royce’s update of Lear’s “One Day at a Time” has always been conscious of that, however, and with each passing season they have become much more savvy about creating a flow that keeps the idea of episodic storytelling alive while also building momentum and creating an addictive narrative.
The fact that the multi-generational sitcom, about a Latina single mother and her family trying to live their best lives, proves capable of innovation within the format while also still remaining genuinely funny is a credit to both the writing and the performances. Despite occasionally being unable...

The traditional multicamera sitcom, shot on a stage in front of an enthusiastic studio audience, looks much easier to make than it actually is. The format is close to 70 years old, dating back to I Love Lucy, but its roots go back much further than that, to the earliest days of live theater. (People who work in multicam often describe their work as “putting on a new play every week.”) Surely, actors strutting around a stage, launching broad punchlines aimed at the tourists in the back row of the studio...

Exclusive: One Day at a Time co-creator, executive producer and co-showrunner Gloria Calderon Kellett will be stepping in front of the camera to bring more drama to the Alvarez family on the upcoming third season of the Netflix comedy series.
Calderon Kellett will do a two-episode arc on the show, a reimagining of Normal Lear’s 1970s sitcom, which she co-created with Mike Royce using her own experience as inspiration.
Additionally, the Cuban-American multi-hyphenate, who helmed One Day at a Time’s episode “Citizen Lydia” this past season, is set to return to the director’s chair. She will direct the final two episodes of season three.
One Day at a Time follows multiple generations of a Cuban-American family. Single mom Penelope Alvarez (Justina Machado) is a military veteran who struggles to find balance between work, home, and personal life while being subjected to nerve wracking Latino guilt by her...

Sheridan Pierce and Raúl Castillo are set for recurring roles on the upcoming third season of Netflix’s One Day At A Time.
Pierce, who appeared in four episodes in Season 2, returns to the series as Syd, Elena’s (Isabella Gomez) girlfriend who identifies as both queer and non-binary. Castillo will play Mateo, a dad friend of Penelope’s (Justina Machado) from school, who turns into something more.

Stephen Tobolowsky, Todd Grinnell and Marcel Ruiz also star.
Norman Lear executive produces, with Gloria Calderon Kellett and Mike Royce executive producing and co-showrunning.

Despite the proliferation of news stories about bathroom bills and pushes to use gender-inclusive pronouns in classrooms and workplaces, stories about gender expression and identity are still ones that Hollywood can struggle to get right.
It was only last year that Showtime’s “Billions” cast non-binary actor Asia Kate Dillon to play the first non-binary role on an American series, and the transgender community has had a mixed reaction to cis-gender male actor Jeffrey Tambor’s award-winning turn as a transitioning woman on Amazon’s “Transparent” the past four seasons. This season saw “Looking” alum Tanya Saracho’s new Starz family drama, “Vida.” Among its many queer-positive stances is the casting of non-binary talent Ser Anzoategui as Eddy, a woman mourning the loss of her wife while also struggling to have a relationship with her detached stepdaughters. While Anzoategui uses they/them pronouns, their character (at least in season one) is a cis-gender woman.

The multi-cam format on “One Day at a Time” might trick you into thinking it’s a traditional sitcom — but it’s really not. Consider the first scene of Season 2, Episode 3, which takes a conversation about complicated gender pronouns and turns it into a funny, yet also respectful, bit reminiscent of Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First?”
It was a sequence that taught star Justina Machado (who plays Penelope) a lot, even though she admitted to IndieWire that “I still don’t understand it.”
Isabella Gomez, who plays Penelope’s teenage daughter Elena, has a better grasp on the difference between “she,” “zhe,” and “they,” but said that “it did take me a minute, too. We have Lgbtq writers on our staff and they’re the ones who have to sit down with me and be like ‘Okay, ready?’ And explain it all to me. It’s so...
