When the boundaries between friendship, parenthood, and romantic love collapse into one another, the results are rarely tidy. This June, Disney+ enters that territory with Alice and Steve, a six-part comedy-drama in which Nicola Walker plays a woman who chooses disruption over acceptance when her closest friend begins a relationship with her adult daughter. Created by Sophie Goodhart and premiered at CANNESERIES 2026, the series asks something quietly profound: how well do we truly know ourselves until something we love is at stake?
