Freeform's debut of "Single Drunk Female" scores the network's biggest comedy premiere in more than four years with over 2.4 million multiplatform viewers in its first seven days available.*

· The pilot episode of "Single Drunk Female" was the most-watched Freeform comedy series premiere on Hulu, and the second-best performance overall for a Freeform series premiere on the platform, only behind "Cruel Summer."

· "Single Drunk Female" currently rates 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and has been a critical favorite, with HuffPost calling the show "...heartfelt and achingly funny." The Washington Post noted "Single Drunk Female" is "... fantastic..." and "...instantly charming..." and The Wrap rated the series "AA+."

· The series follows 20-something alcoholic Samantha Fink, who, after a public flame-out at a New York media company, is forced to seize the only chance she has to sober up and avoid jail time: moving back home with her overbearing mother, Carol. Back in Greater Boston, Samantha restarts her life, working at the local grocery store while surrounded by all of the triggers that made her drink in the first place. Confronted with remnants of her old life, including run-ins with her perfect former best friend, who is now dating her ex, Samantha sets out on a path to move past her worst self and figure out her best self. Kinda.

· In tonight's episode, Sam faces her hardest challenge yet: avoiding alcohol on St. Patrick's Day when Brit gives her the chance to rekindle a friendship. James teams up with Mindy to track down his lost keys while battling his own St. Patrick's Day temptations.

· "Single Drunk Female" stars Sofia Black-D'Elia, Ally Sheedy, Rebecca Henderson, Sasha Compère, Lily Mae Harrington and Garrick Bernard. The series comes from 20th Television and is written and created by Simone Finch ("The Connors"), who executive produces along with Jenni Konner ("Girls," "Camping"), Daisy Gardner ("Silicon Valley," "The Goldbergs"), Phil Traill ("Good Girls"), Nora Silver and Leslye Headland. Headland ("Russian Doll" and "Star Wars: The Acolyte") directed the pilot.
