Synopsis: "Any Day Now" is a heartfelt original dramatic series that examines the relationship between two women who became childhood friends in Alabama during the height of the Civil Rights Movement.

In the first season of "Any Day Now," we watched Mary Elizabeth (M.E.) (Annie Potts) and Rene (Lorraine Toussaint) rekindle their childhood friendship. They stuck together in the '60s, despite social pressure against their interracial friendship (M.E. is white and Rene is black). Their relationship later in life hasn't exactly been smooth sailing, either, as each woman struggles with the challenges of her chosen path. Both women find themselves longing for part of the other's lifestyle.

The second season found M.E., a middle-class housewife and mother, and Rene, a single, high-powered lawyer, each working to change what's missing in her own current life situation.

Inspired by Rene's career success, M.E. pursues her long-delayed dream of being a writer. Meanwhile, workaholic Rene becomes engaged and tries on the challenging role of stepmother, while dealing with her fiancé's resentment of her financial success.

Now in its third season, "Any Day Now" gives its viewers even more of what they have come to expect by tackling the hard-hitting issues concerning race and relationships in both the past and present.

In each episode, Rene and M.E.'s present-day lives are interwoven with flashbacks from their childhood during the 1960s birth of the Civil Rights Movement, dealing frankly and honestly with black and white issues. "Any Day Now" is the only program on prime-time television that offers a weekly exploration of race relations.
