Instant Mom is scripted half-hour comedy series that follows Stephanie, a former party girl who becomes a full-time stepmom to three kids when she marries the more traditional Charlie. Stephanie manages to keep it all together using her own unique style, never losing her sense of fun, and with the help of her mother Maggie, she learns what being a mom really means.
Stephanie trades in cosmos for carpools when she marries a man with three kids. Her new role of full-time stepmom is challenging as she struggles to maintain some sense of her fun-loving, slightly irresponsible self.
