The special has “an all-star cast playing characters from New York to Los Angeles coping with politics and the pandemic” and “tells stories of breaking down and breaking through in the summer of 2020 that are funny, searing, poignant and now.”
The cast includes Kaitlyn Dever (Unbelievable), Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek), Bette Midler (Hello Dolly), Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story), and Issa Rae (Insecure).
More about the storyline: “Exploring our current world of deeply divided politics and the universal pursuit of human connection, Coastal Elites features a series of confessionals from five main characters.”
