The ever-dysfunctional Walker family of Los Angeles is back for another season of this critically lauded series, led by Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Sally Field, Calista Flockhart and Rob Lowe. Challenged by opposing politics, disparate lifestyles, sibling rivalry and dark family secrets, the Walkers do their best to maintain some semblance of a family. Balthazar Getty, Rachel Griffiths, Patricia Wettig and Dave Annable also star.

Sally Field stars as Nora, matriarch of the Walker clan, in this earnest family saga that dramatizes the many obstacles that modern society can throw into the lives of ordinary Americans -- beginning with the death of Nora's beloved husband. Alternately embracing and at each other's throats, the family has made its way through a minefield of crises, including infidelity, addiction and even death. Through it all, family has always come first.

The Walker siblings return for Season 2 of this series a little wiser, having lost many of their illusions about the family after learning of their recently deceased father's affair with Holly Harper (Patricia Wettig) and the existence of his illegitimate daughter. Now, the politically divided Walkers must continue to deal with Holly's interference in the family business as they get to know their half sister.

Tireless matriarch Nora Walker (played by Sally Field, who won an Emmy for the role) leads her affluent progeny through more triumphs, tragedies and surprises in the fourth season of this classy ABC soap opera. A whole new round of professional and personal dramas unfold for Justin (Dave Annable), Kitty (Calista Flockhart), Tommy (Balthazar Getty), Sarah (Rachel Griffiths), Julia (Sarah Jane Morris), Rebecca (Emily VanCamp) and Saul (Ron Rifkin).
