Adapting Premieres 7/21
TORONTO, July 7, 2026 — From AMI.
AMI, in partnership with Big Time Decent’s Bread & Better Films, is proud to announce Season 1 of the scripted drama Adapting debuts Tuesday, July 21, at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST on AMI-tv, AMI+ and YouTube.
Filmed in and around Vancouver and the B.C. coast and inspired by the lived experiences of Rachael and Garner Ransom, Adapting (6x30) brings a raw, unfiltered perspective to disability—one rarely seen on Canadian television.
New town. New life. Same problems. Navigating grief, identity and small-town chaos, Adapting is a sharp, irreverent family drama about a widowed father and his twin teenage daughters as they attempt to find love, acceptance and their place in a messy, unpredictable world.
After 16-year-old Lennon Anderson (Threnody Tsai, Percy Jackson and the Olympians) loses her mother, she loses it. When she pushes her wheelchair off the roof of her high school, she’s expelled, forcing her identical twin sister, Lola (Junnicia Lagoutin, The Imperfects), and their widowed father, Mel (Kurt Long, Liv and Maddie), to leave the city behind for a fresh start in their mom’s old town of Halfway Bay.
Lennon has cerebral palsy, but she’s determined not to become “the disabled new girl.” Instead, she sets herself an ambitious goal: experience every messy teenage milestone before life passes her by—friendship, first kisses, heartbreak… maybe even sex. If she has to adapt to a new town, she’s going to do it on her own terms, even if those terms are spectacularly self-destructive.
As Lennon charges headfirst into one disastrous decision after another, she finds herself caught between two very different boys: Joey (Kiefer O’Reilly, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers), the fiercely loyal friend who truly sees her, and Dylan (Brandon McEwan, Alter Boys), the charming rival she never expected to fall for. Torn between them, Lennon is forced to confront a question even more frightening than whether someone will love her: can she believe she’s worthy of being loved in the first place?
