New York, NY May, 2009 Zero to six, in nine months! On June 11, 2007, Jenny and Bryan Masche became first-time parents... of sextuplets! And their once quiet lives have never been the same. WE tv's new original series RAISING SEXTUPLETS follows the marathon-running parents as they learn the hard way that no training can prepare you for parenthood with multiples. WE tv captures all the fun and chaos of life with six kids in RAISING SEXTUPLETS, premiering Thursday, June 11 at 10pm I 9c, the same day as the Masche toddlers' 2nd birthday.
