Almost Family episode 2 is scheduled to arrive next week, and this is a chance for the story to evolve and to see if it would gain more viewers, considering that it is a freshman series. Here's what viewers can expect in the upcoming episode, titled "Related AF."
In the synopsis of Almost Family episode 2, Julie is being hunted by her new reality, while Roxy is embracing it by spending quality time with Leon. Edie and Time, on the other hand, are preparing for their trial. However, Tim noticed the interaction between Edie and prosecutor Amanda, which makes him uneasy. As for Dr. Isaac Abadi, he steps up to the plate at the clinic.
Entering Almost Family episode 2, we're going to see more of what Fox prepared for its freshman series. We know that the show airs right after the hit The Masked Singer, and it also has a unique premise. The series follows a young woman who eventually found out she had several half-siblings. How could she react in such a situation? Where does the story lead the audience?
It's safe to say that Almost Family has prepared several surprises, as well as many different setbacks for viewers to keep watching. Perhaps, one of the most exciting things within this series is the difference between expectation and reality. While these characters share the same blood, they've gone through a lot of different experiences.
Meanwhile, since the series has just started, it's hard to predict its current standing -- particularly the show's ratings later on. But, the premiere episode generated a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This could be great, but then, the show beforehand, The Mask Singer, generated a 1.9 rating. Hence, Almost Family premiere episode lost about half of its lead-in.
This is not a good start for a show, and it would've been better if FOX could either air comedies or another reality game-show hybrid following their big hit. If ever Almost Family will generate similar ratings the rest of the way, it could still have a future. However, it's also worth remembering that most of the new shows usually fall about 15 percent from the first to the second week.
Almost Family episode 2 will air on Wednesday, October 9, on FOX. The series stars Brittany Snow as Julia Bechley, Megalyn Echikunwoke as Edie Palmer, Emily Osment as Roxy Doyle, Mo McRae as Tim Moore, Mustafa Elzein as Isaac Abadi, Victoria Cartagena as Amanda, and Timothy Hutton as Leon Beckley.
