CBS’ ‘Fam’ Series Premiere: Here’s How You Know The Cast

CBS has a new sitcom — “Fam” — arriving Thursday night, and it stars quite a few actors you’ll probably recognize.

The family comedy follows Clem (Nina Dobrev) and Nick (Tone Bell), a newly-engaged couple, as their lives and relationship are turned upside down when Clem’s 16-year-old, troubled half-sister unexpectedly moves in with them.
