When a newly-widowed socialite discovers her late husband left her their magnificent estate but no money to maintain it, she reinvents herself to transform it into an exclusive residential community, essentially a ‘white glove service’ rooming house for character-rich captivating wealthy ‘matures’ with the help of her colorful misfit friends, while fighting off an array of mobsters, developers, and her late husband’s children who want a piece of the action.

Estates’ themes are adaptation, friendships, relationships, and the association between wealth and identity, as many define themselves and others by their social status and possessions. The series’ focus is on resilience and reinvention … and on squeezing every ounce of joy despite many odds in the last half of our lives.

Estates is a serialized hour-long dramedy series enriched by diverse personal storylines, adorned with lavish estates, extravagant clothing, stunning architecture and décor, outrageous personalities, lifestyle-evocative music, and lush scenery; re: Palm Royale, White Lotus.

Awards winner in 9 international film festivals and competitions.

Its novel is scheduled for release in late 2027.
