Freeform’s new TV series, “Single Drunk Female,” finds humor in the unlikely territory of addiction recovery. The show, filmed in Atlanta, stars Sophia Black-D’Elia as Samantha Fink. Samantha is a writer in her late twenties who moves back home with her overbearing mother to sober up and avoid jail time after a spectacularly embarrassing public breakdown. Samantha’s mom, Carol, is played by Ally Sheedy, and the show was written and produced by Simone Finch. All three women joined “City Lights” senior producer Kim Drobes via Zoom to talk about the new show that’s been called “witty and relatable” and “achingly funny.”
