My Generation, one of the new fall TV shows I have been looking forward to watching, premieres tonight on ABC.  The show’s concept intrigues me: A film crew which made an unreleased documentary about nine members of an Austin high school Class of 2000 returns to see what happened to them after a tumultuous decade that included 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Enron and more.  The film crew follows the personal stories of these nine friends and the promises they thought their futures held, all told through the camera of a documentary film crew.

My Generation stars Michael Stahl David as Steven, Jaime King as Jacqueline, Kelli Garner as Dawn, Keir O’Donnell as Kenneth, Mehcad Brooks as Rolly, Julian Morris as Anders, Daniella Alonso as Brenda, Anne Son as Caroline, Sebastian Sozzi as Falcon and Elizabeth Keener as the filmmaker.

Based on a Swedish format entitled On God’s Highway, My Generation was created and written by Noah Hawley (The Unusuals, Bones), who is also an executive producer along with Warren Littlefield, Henrik Bastin, Peter Magnusson and Martin Persson. Craig Gillespie directed the pilot.

I recently met up with the cast of My Generation at the 2010 ABC Red Carpet Premiere Event.
