Plot Synopsis

Based on the British series of the same name, SUPERNANNY is a one-hour reality series that follows child-rearing expert Jo Frost, who helps stressed-out parents tackle social and behavioral challenges as well as new issues faced by modern-day families. With a recipe of honest, direct and nurturing support, Jo offers real-life solutions to parents -- uplifting families with advice, techniques, and tips to iron out the chaos in their lives, helping families evolve.

SUPERNANNY aired on ABC for seven seasons from January 2005 through March 2011. After a nearly nine-year hiatus, SUPERNANNY returned for its eighth season on New Year's Day 2020 on a new network: Lifetime.

Season 8 of SUPERNANNY premiered on Wednesday, January 1, 2020 at 10pm ET/PT on Lifetime. The families featured this season are from cities and towns around the country, including Phenix City, AL; Spokane, WA; Makaha, HI; Corona, CA; Mesa, AZ; Cortlandt Manor, NY; Gilbert, AZ; and more. Each of the families are dealing with diverse issues that span the spectrum of parenting challenges - from dealing with postpartum depression, ADHD, kids obsessed with electronic devices, blended families struggling with children acting out, military and first responder spouses facing separations - to parents buried in their phones and more. Jo will visit one new family each week and use her trusted and proven methods and elevated teachings to help them change their dynamics while focusing on positive reinforcement and connectivity. Supernanny's first stop will be in Pittstown, NJ, where viewers will meet Jessica and CJ Braido and their four children. The couple recently went from double duty to quadruple duty, when their twins Dax and Chase arrived three months ago. The dual career parents were already at odds with opposing parenting styles and relying on devices as digital babysitters. With the tension rising, will Nanny Jo be able to teach Jessica and CJ to work together before chaos pushes them further apart?
