COMING UP THIS SEASON   

· The group is at a crossroad as they attempt to navigate their relationships at home and their bonds with each other. Each facing their own set of challenges, they soon realize that a quieter life in the suburbs is not without its fair share of drama. When a trip to the desert goes south, they must reassess their friendships, acknowledge their own shortcomings and somehow find their way back to each other.      

· Reza Farahan and Adam Neely are 14 years into their relationship and happily embracing a calmer life, child-free and away from the bustling city. Reza is finally in a solid place with longtime friends Golnesa and Mercedeh after years of ups and downs, despite old wounds that still linger.

· After their fairytale wedding, life moved fast for Mercedeh Javid and Tommy Feight. Thrust into parenthood and now navigating partnership under a busy roof, they struggle to salvage their marriage as the pressures of family, career and loyalty threaten to tear them apart.

· Golnesa Gharachedaghi has swapped nights in the club for playdates at the park, but her fiery spirit remains bright as ever. After her short-lived marriage with a close friend and business partner cost her in more ways than one, she's focused on picking up the pieces.  

· Sky Asakari and Bamshad Akbar are at odds - both physically and emotionally - in this chapter of their lives. Her sense of discipline and his playful energy bring balance to their home, but they find that unresolved grudges block them from moving forward personally and with certain friends.

· The group's resident charmer, Reza Jackson is looking to build his ties in the Persian community. Though he considers settling down, he is not yet ready to let go of his partying, playboy ways.
