Season 1 of Good Trouble premiered Tuesday, January 8th, 2019 on Freeform. It is the spin-off of the hit series The Fosters.

Production for Season 1 officially started on June 11, 2018. The series was picked up for a thirteen episode order shortly after.

Synopsis

The anticipated spin-off of the groundbreaking family drama “The Fosters", Good Trouble follows Callie (Maia Mitchell) and Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) as they embark on the next phase of their young adult lives in Los Angeles. Mariana tackles the male-dominated world of tech and Callie faces the harsh realities of the federal legal system clerking for a federal judge.

After moving to The Coterie in Downtown Los Angeles, Callie and Mariana realize that living on their own is not all that it’s cracked up to be. Faced with new neighbors, new challenges and, of course, new romances, the sisters must depend on one another to navigate the City of Angels.

The series also stars Tommy Martinez as Gael, Sherry Cola as Alice, Zuri Adele as Malika, and Roger Bart as Judge Wilson.
