An original series in-the-making written by Minnesota mother-daughter duo

Katrina Pierson and Norah Pierson Liza and Harper Screenwriters

Liza & Harper follows Liza, a restless 30-something entrepreneur, and her sharp-witted pre-teen daughter, Harper. At its core, Liza & Harper embraces the idea that there is no such thing as a "normal" family. Through humor and heart, the show delves into the messiness of relationships—whether romantic, familial, or within ourselves—and reveals how these connections shape who we are and what we stand for. As Liza and Harper learn to accept themselves and each other, the series highlights the emotional complexities of being a woman and a teen today, offering a fresh take on what it means to navigate feelings, identity, and connection in unconventional ways.

Written by Duluth, Minnesota-based mother and daughter Katrina and Norah Pierson, the concept premiered at the Catalyst Content Festival October 4 with a table reading of its pilot episode at Zeitgeist’s Teatro theatre in downtown Duluth, MN.
