Fleeing the midlife crisis that her picture-perfect Connecticut life created, Mary Ann is quickly drawn back into the orbit of Anna Madrigal (Dukakis), her chosen family and a new generation of queer young residents living at 28 Barbary Lane.” Per the Netflix synopsis, this next chapter of “Tales of the City” follows Mary Ann’s (Linney) return to “present-day San Francisco, where she is reunited with her daughter Shawna ( Ellen Page) and ex-husband Brian (Paul Gross), twenty years after leaving them behind to pursue her career. The first trailer for the new series, below, is scored by Anohni’s gorgeous queer ode “For Today I am a Boy,” dialing up the tear factor to 100. Linney returns - with her co-star from that production, Olympia Dukakis, as magical landlord Anna Madrigal - to the mythical house on Barbary Lane in which so many memories were made. The last time time she was seen onscreen was 1993, when Laura Linney played her for PBS. Netflix is reviving the beloved queer show “ Tales of the City,” based on the books by prolific San Francisco writer Armistead Maupin. Mary Ann Singleton is back at Barbary Lane, and the reunion is primed to inspire as many feelings as possible.
