Meet The Fosters – TV’s New Modern Family

Executive Producer Jennifer Lopez is introducing television viewers to a new, and very different type of TV family. But just because we don’t see this type of “modern family” on television that often, doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. “The Fosters,” which will premiere on ABC Family is about a multi-ethnic blended family. The biracial lesbian couple who serve as the main characters, have biological and adopted children, all living together as a family. The show is centered around the couple bringing in another teenager who comes from a troubled past to join the family.

“There’s something that every family can take out of this show and say, ‘That’s exactly what happens at my breakfast table,’ or, ‘I can’t believe she said that! That’s exactly how I say things to my son,’ ” said star Sherri Saum. “It’s very relatable that way.”

“The Fosters” will debut Monday, June 3 at 9/8c on ABC Family. Saum and Teri Polo play the bi-racial parents, David Lambert stars as Stef’s biological son Brandon, while Cierra Ramirez and Jake T. Austin are cast as the couple’s adopted twins Mariana and Jesus.
