‘The Goldbergs’: Season 8 Gets April UK Premiere On E4 With Double Bill
‘The Goldbergs‘ are returning to the UK, as E4 sets an April premiere date for the 8th Season, which will open with a double-bill of episodes.
‘The Goldbergs’ follows the titular family’s escapades in 1980s Pennsylvania. Narrator Adam (Sean Giambrone, with his future self voiced by Patton Oswald) just wants to grow up as a normal, nerdy teenager – and possibly become the world’s greatest filmmaker. That looks pretty unlikely when he’s constantly battling his own family: there’s his smothering but well-meaning mother Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey – ‘Bridesmaids’), his hot-tempered dad Murray (Jeff Garlin – ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’), rebellious and musical sister Erica (Hayley Orrantia), emotional and idiotic brother Barry (Troy Gentile) and beloved grandfather Pops (George Segal – ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’). While the Goldbergs might not always see eye to eye, in this sweet-natured comedy family always comes first.
The opening episode of Season 8, titled “Airplane!”, sees Beverly announce a family vacation to Miami, but Erica suspects she’s up to something. As Murray grapples with his fear of flying and Geoff struggles to keep the peace, Barry and Adam risk alienating their girlfriends.
That will be followed by “The Prettiest Boy in School”, which follows Adam as he struggles to balance his old friendships with his new ones. Meanwhile, Beverly realises that she wants an adult relationship with her kids.
Adam F. Goldberg, Doug Robinson, Alex Barnow, Chris Bishop and Annette Davis are executive producers. ‘The Goldbergs’ is produced by Happy Madison, Doug Robinson Productions and Adam F. Goldberg Productions, in association with Sony Pictures Television.
‘The Goldbergs‘ Season 8 premieres Thursday, 29th April 2021 at 9pm with a double bill of episodes on E4.
