Related is an American comedy-drama series that aired on The WB network during the 2005-2006 television season. It revolved around the lives of four close-knit sisters - of Italian descent, raised in Brooklyn - living in New York City. The show was created by former Sex and the City writer Liz Tuccillo, and executive produced by Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman. Despite heavy promotion, initial ratings did not warrant the show being picked up for a second season when The WB network was folded into The CW. The untitled Related theme song is sung by The Veronicas, whose music was regularly featured in episodes.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Marta Kauffman executive produced both this and Friends, making Related essentially 'what if the Gellers had two more sisters and moved to Brooklyn'.
The Veronicas were unknown when booked; their album debuted at #7 partly from this exposure. The show got cancelled before they became massive.
