In about three weeks, one of my favorite families on television, Parenthood's Braverman family, will be back on our television screens to talk over each other, get in each other's business, and make us cry on a weekly basis. Spoilers may be leaking here or there with the general vibe of the early part of the season taking shape, but there haven't been any promos released.
Until now, that is.
In this recently released clip, Kristina's pregnancy belly is about to pop with the next member of the Braverman clan and Adam seems to already be stressed out. It's only an 18 second clip, with some of that being reminders of the premiere date, but it's enough to make me anticipate the show coming back that much more.
It could almost be seen as a comment on Adam's mental state, in that he's so on edge (job loss, new child, child with Aspberger's, child that's almost grown) that he's one hair away from crawling in bed and getting into the fetal position. Knowing Adam like we know him, he'd never do that to his family, but I think we can assume that there'll be a few blow-ups along the way to relieve the tension knotted into his shoulders.
With such a large cast, I can imagine that more individualized promos will be leaking closer to the premiere date, kind of encapsulating where each Braverman is when we rejoin them, so keep your eye peeled.
Parenthood's third season premieres Tuesday, September 13th at 10:00 on NBC.
Bonus spoiler: If the promo has you in a bit of a tizzy and you want to know when Kristina has the baby (and what family member helps her along the way), click here.
