Here’s everything you need to know about Newark, Newark.

What is Newark Newark about?

The official synopsis for Newark Newark reveals that “follows pugnacious chip shop manager and exhausted matriarch, Maxine, as she tries to ride out her divorce and find someone who actually lights her fire.”

Her son comes out as gay and her ex-husband tries to win her back in this series that hopes to “capture the goofy, sticky oddness of long English summers and the joyous, comforting and somewhat ridiculous things that go on in a small town.”
