Created by Serri Elwood, who also serves as showrunner, Moonshine is a raucous, one-hour dramedy that tells the story of the Finley-Cullens, a dysfunctional clan of adult half-siblings battling for control of the ancestral business, The Moonshine, a ramshackle summer resort, two stars on a good day — and that day was in 1979. It’s an epic tale of lust, legacy and lobster, set against the backdrop of financial hardship, insane tourists, small-town intrigue and a long-buried secret that threatens to annihilate the Finley-Cullens once and for all.
Note: Moonshine was first announced in 2020 under the working title Feudal.
Note: Series television often uses a large number of cast members who only appear in 1 or 2 episodes. We list the Main Cast, appearing in at least 5 of the 8 original episodes.
