Dear Felicity

Dear Felicity

The Ringer

The cast, crew, executives, and fans of Felicity revisit the show 25 years after its premiere on The WB to discuss why the show remains a cultural touchstone and what made that moment in the history of television particularly unique. Rather than going episode-by-episode, Dear Felicity episodes will cover themes and story arcs as a way to have broader conversations about Felicity, The WB, the careers of those involved, and how the TV business functioned. The podcast will largely follow the tv show’s chronology.
