The Big C

More 4

Have your tissues ready as The Big C returns for a second season starring Globe Globe winner Laura Linney.

When Cathy (Linney) was diagnosed with terminal cancer in season one, she chose not to accept the news as a death sentence, but as a challenge to live her remaining life to the fullest. The new season picks up with Cathy still determined to beat her cancer and trying desperately to get an appointment with Dr Atticus Sherman (Alan Alda), who may be able to get her into the clinical trial that could be the key to a cure.

Cathy's husband Paul (Oliver Platt) tries to be the supportive, loving husband that Cathy needs. Meanwhile their son Adam (Gabriel Basso) is still adjusting to learning the truth about his mother's illness, and part of that comes with added attention at school now that her diagnosis is public knowledge. Finally, Cathy's mentally unstable brother Sean (John Benjamin Hickey) is preparing to be a father, having impregnated Cathy's old college friend Rebecca (Cynthia Nixon).
