ABOUT "FOR PEETE'S SAKE" - Holly
Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete were two of the brightest stars in
their fields in the 80's and 90's. Holly lit up the small screen from an
early age with starring roles in "21 Jump Street" and "Hangin' With Mr.
Cooper," and her husband and NFL quarterback Rodney Peete dominated the
league for 16 years. Now the duo are giving viewers an intimate look at
their hectic and often-times comical lives as they attempt to balance
raising their four kids, running a charity (the HollyRod Foundation) and
spending time with Holly's über-manager mother Dolores who is still
wheeling and dealing even as she approaches 80 years young. In a
household where constant activity and change are the norm, the series
celebrates the chaotic, yet loving dynamic of life in this magnetic
American family.

In
its premiere season, the Peetes fully display their knack for getting
the most out of life no matter what curveballs might be thrown their
way. Holly and Rodney are loving parents to their 17-year-old son RJ who
has autism and was told he would never speak. Today, not only can't he
stop talking, but he enjoys advocating for special needs children.
Meanwhile his twin sister Ryan is trying to decide whether to go to
college or jumpstart a career in music. Thirteen-year-old son Robinson
caught the athletic gene from his father and would love to follow in his
footsteps, but all the latest concussion studies have Holly wishing for
a less dangerous choice. Rodney is beginning to feel the aches and
pains in retirement, prompting Holly to have him visit a doctor to get
tested after so many years playing football. And as
a self-proclaimed "black-tress" of a certain age, Holly has struggled in
recent years to find acting roles suitable for her and is ready to
branch out and develop a lifestyle brand of her own.
Whether
they're setting up for their next big fundraiser, coaching their kids
into lives of their own, or just trying to keep that special spark alive
in their marriage, there's never a dull moment with the Peetes.

Peete's Sake" is produced for OWN by Tremendous! Entertainment.
