A Story About Family, Power, and Class
Created and written by Andrew Pemberton-Fowler, whose previous credits include CBS’ Soapy and HBO’s The Official Gilded Age Podcast, Worlds Apart centers on three families living in Bedford Hills, an affluent suburb located on Chicago’s North Shore.
At the center of the story are the Livingstons, an old-money family that believes Bedford Hills still belongs to them after returning to town.
Then there are the Russes, a family that built its success from the ground up. Their ambition, however, makes many residents deeply uncomfortable.
Finally, there are the Greenfields, who are doing everything they can to maintain their place in a town that seems to make life increasingly difficult.
The lives of all three families are forever changed when Ian Greenfield’s friendship with Sylvia Russ and Robbie Livingston unleashes a chain of events that sends shockwaves throughout the community.
At the same time, the future of the Livingston family’s centuries-old business empire threatens to reshape not only Bedford Hills, but potentially the world beyond it.
According to SoapKast, Worlds Apart is a character-driven audio soap exploring themes of class, race, and the invisible boundaries that often define where people belong.
