Somewhere between work, rent, and figuring out what to eat for dinner, five twenty-somethings accidentally become each other’s home.
Across the Hall follows two neighboring apartments in Murray Hill, where a shared hallway slowly turns strangers into friends, roommates into family, and ordinary weekdays into stories worth remembering.
Set between office buildings, tiny Manhattan apartments, coffee runs, late-night takeout, communal dinners, and conversations that somehow always end on the balcony, it’s a story about growing up in a city that never slows down and learning that adulthood becomes a little less terrifying when you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Inspired by Not Suitable for Work (Hulu).
