Monica Ten-Kate is a typical 21-year-old college junior, juggling studies, friends, family, bills and boys…all while communicating with the dead. “Monica the Medium,” premieres Tuesday, August 25th (10:00 PM –ET/PT) on ABC Family.
In the premiere episode, Monica and her roommates decide to throw a back-to-school party and invite friends and fellow students alike. During the party, she keeps getting strong vibes from a guy behind her who she’s never met. Unable to ignore it any longer, she finally turns around and does a spot-on spontaneous reading for him…shocking every around her.
Later, she agrees to let her best friend, Krista, set her up on a blind date, after years of struggling to meet a guy who isn’t freaked out by her gift. But as she shops for dresses and gets a mani-pedi, Spirit keeps interrupting, making her nervous that it’ll happen in front of a potential love interest.
Monica the Medium follows Monica, a college junior, navigating friends, family, relationships — and the fact that she’s a medium and can talk to dead people. Her uncommon vocation provides an endless supply of emotional and engaging stories, with a unique millennial perspective. The show is produced by Dave Caplan’s Trooper Entertainment in association with Lionsgate TV. Caplan will serve as executive producer alongside Malachi McGlone. It’s in production in State College, PA.
