Seasons
The debut season follows the Wilson family's move from Kansas to Beverly Hills as siblings Annie and Dixon start at West Beverly Hills High — first loves, new friendships with Naomi, Silver, Ethan, Navid and Adrianna, and a family secret that reshapes the household.
Sophomore year deepens the drama: the bond between Naomi, Silver and Adrianna is tested, Silver faces a family cancer crisis, and a predatory teacher, Mr. Cannon, arrives at West Bev — setting up the season's darkest turn.
Senior year confronts the aftermath of the Mr. Cannon storyline head-on as Naomi seeks justice, the group chases music and studio dreams at Shirazi, and graduation looms over everyone's next chapter.
The college years begin at CU: Naomi rushes a sorority and clashes with rival Holly, Annie hides a secret double life, Dixon pursues music, and Naomi's whirlwind path toward marriage drives the season.
The final season pushes the group into adulthood — marriages tested, careers launched (a surf shop, a restaurant, event planning for mogul Jordan Welland), and a catastrophic finale that puts the friendships on the line one last time.
