Happiness Plot

Happiness is a bold and bubbly musical comedy series set in the New Zealand town of Tauranga. It centers on Charlie Summers, a disgraced Kiwi director booted off Broadway, who’s forced to regroup at home. Pressured by his mother Gaye, Charlie ends up directing a community theatre musical—an original work based on the Iliad, hilariously titled The Trojan Horse. As rehearsals unfold, creative clashes, eccentric cast members, and backstage mishaps take center stage. The series brilliantly weaves original musical numbers that parody iconic theatre tropes while maintaining emotional depth. Audiences are treated to both heartwarming drama and slapstick comedy. With a mix of seasoned actors and fresh faces, Happiness proves that even small-town theatre can deliver big entertainment.

Happiness Release Date:

Season 1 of Happiness aired on December 14, 2025, on PBS at 8pm ET in Canada.
