Party of Five is an American dramatic television series that premiered on FOX Network, September 12, 1994 and ended on May 3, 2000 after six seasons.
The show, a drama aimed at the teenage market and set in San Francisco, centered on five siblings who grow up orphans after their parents were killed by a drunk driver in an auto accident. Before becoming a hit, it dodged cancellation due to disappointing ratings for the early episodes. As a result, it is one of the lowest rated shows to ever win a Golden Globe award (1996 -Best Drama).
During the series, both Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt starred in their own slasher films which re-ignited the horror film industry, Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Matthew Fox went on to star in CBS's hit series, Ghost Whisperer and in the 2004 ABC primetime hit drama Lost, respectively, while Scott Wolf would go on to co-star in Everwood and The Nine. Both Fox and Hewitt are currently under contract with ABC Television Studio (formerly Touchstone Television).
The show was also followed by a spinoff titled Time of Your Life, starring Jennifer Love Hewitt as her character Sarah Reeves moving to New York.
The show was produced by Columbia Pictures Television, High Productions and Keyser/Lippman Productions and distributed by Columbia TriStar Domestic Television and the Fox Network, which aired the show in the U.S. Reruns of the show are distributed by Sony Pictures Television.
