A new trailer for the upcoming Freeform reboot of teen drama “Party of Five<\/a>” takes a dramatic turn with a plot twist that is as heartbreaking as it is relevant. Where the original 1994 series<\/a> saw the Salinger siblings’ parents die in a car crash, the new show follows the five Acosta children after their parents are abruptly deported to Mexico.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Starring Niko Guardado<\/a>, Brandon Larracuente<\/a>, Elle Paris Legaspi<\/a> and Emily Tosta<\/a> (the fifth sibling is an infant), the show exposes the harsh reality of life for a Latinx family living in the United States. In the trailer, released on May 14<\/a>, the parents are hauled into court in a challenge to their citizenship. The aftermath is that the children are left to struggle, and ultimately survive, as a family on their own. As the eldest child Emilio (played by Larracuente) says in the trailer, “Mommy and Papi managed with a lot less than we had and they figured it out.”<\/p>\n

Details for the premiere of “Party of Five” have yet to be announced. In the meantime, watch the trailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n
