Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over returns to W for a brand-new series. This time the award-winning documentary maker visits the USA to explore extraordinary modern families and couples by spending a long weekend at their house.
In the hot summer of 2022, Stacey spent time with a range of unique American families including a 9-year-old GunTuber and her parents, a transgender mum and dad and an interracial couple with a 37-year age gap between them.
From attending important, life-changing events to sharing family meals, Stacey gets involved in all aspects of the families’ lives to intimately explore their attitudes to love, relationships, parenting and money.
Warm, honest, and insightful, each episode in this series tells a compelling story of modern American life.
