ABC's A Million Little Things Cast Addresses Loss & Friendship

A Million Little Things is coming to ABC this fall. They say friendship isn't one big thing, it's a million little things; and that's true for a group of friends from Boston who bonded under unexpected circumstances. So what is A Million Little Things about? ABC's new TV show is about a group of friends who are all having a rough time in one way or another—stalled careers, relationships, etc. After one of them unexpectedly dies by suicide, it's just the wake-up call the others need to finally start living. Along the way they discover that friends may be the one thing to save them from themselves. The premiere date for A Million Little Things is WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 26 10|9c.

A Million Little Things's cast features talented actors you've seen in TV and film, including David Giuntoli as Eddie, Ron Livingston as Jon, Romany Malco as Rome, Allison Miller as Maggie, Christina Moses as Regina, Christina Ochoa as Ashley, Grace Park as Katherine, James Roday as Gary, Stephanie Szostak as Delilah and Lizzy Greene as Sophie. "These are some of the most human characters I have ever seen on television," says Malco.

Executive producer and creator DJ Nash says the concept of the show came from real life, when one of his friends took his own life. "At his funeral I promised myself I'd live differently," Nash says. "I think that's what you do when someone you love goes too soon. You use their death as a way to remind yourself to keep living."
