For years, the parody Twitter account Chicago Party Aunt (@ChiPartyAunt) has offered commentary on all things trashy, drunken and suburban-adjacent in Chicago—everything from Jewel’s baked potato soup to the sexual prowess of famous Chicago men—in the voice of a hard-partying middle-aged woman, amassing more than 45,000 followers along the way. She has kept us all in stitches and looks like she will be doing so even more from now on as Party Aunt has her own animated Netflix comedy show,
Riane Dunbrowski has been the life of the party in her beloved hometown since the 1980s and has no plans on giving up the reins anytime soon. What she lacks in adulting skills, she makes up for with her heart of gold and stubbornly loyal determination to her family and friends. Still, it’s clear Diane needs to adapt to the rapidly changing world around her unless she wants to become a relic of the past like her favorite Spuds McKenzie poster.
Luckily her favorite (and only) nephew, Daniel, defers going to college and decides to ditch the suburbs and live with his aunt in the big city. She is Daniel’s blue-collar fairy godmother, ready to show him a good time, and he is her guide through the often treacherous perils of modernity that is shifting beneath her on a daily basis. The new series follows Diane and Daniel as they navigate work, family, romance, and most of all, how to party their brains out in the best damn city in the world
She's all heart and no filter. Chicago Party Aunt streams September 17, only on Netflix.
