About "The Lost Holliday"
"The Lost Holliday," follows the journey of Cassandra Marshall (Vivica A. Fox), who arrives in Los Angeles to plan the funeral of her estranged son, Damien Holliday (Jabari Redd). Upon her arrival, Cassandra discovers that the funeral arrangements are already being handled by her son's husband, Jason Holliday (Jussie Smollett) - a man and a marriage she knew nothing about. Through Jason, their adopted daughter, Arielle (Londyn Carter), Jason's sister, Cheyenne (Brittany Hall), and best friend, Duck (Marquise Vilsón), Cassandra learns more about her son in death than she ever did in his life. "The Lost Holliday" also celebrates LGBTQIA+ representation and the importance of acceptance, shining a light on the adversity and triumphs of a same gender loving couple navigating family dissension, and societal presumptions.
