Worn Stories - Season 1
Season 1
Worn Stories opens the closets of a diverse group of people to reveal a treasure-trove of tales about the meaning behind articles of clothing. Be it a pair of boots symbolizing survival, a dress that's come to stand for recovery, or a uniform that reaffirms an identity, the series illuminates the lives of the wearers through stories about cherished articles of clothing. By turns funny, tragic, poignant, and celebratory, each episode is organized by theme and features a mix of interviews from cultural figures and talented storytellers. Animated sequences and archival footage help bring these touching yarns to life.
Episodes
Community
Clothing — or the lack thereof — can bring people together, whether they're celebrating a life, shining on the dance floor or woodworking in the nude.
Lost and Found
Loss hurts — and inspires. A codpiece is revived as a career rebounds. A stray coat leads to adventure while airbrushed tees memorialize the dead.
Beginnings
Author Emily Spivack rediscovers the first thing she ever wore, but that's just the start of a look at origin stories and how clothing shapes a life.
Growing Up
Gender-neutral b'nai mitzvah garb, football pants worn by a Kurdish American player, a sexy jockstrap for a writer — there's no one way to grow up.
Uniform
Protective, practical uniforms find new uses when a crossing guard refuses to be defined, an artist enjoys erasure, and a lawmaker proudly stands out.
Chance
Let it ride. These ladies are betting big in Las Vegas, tackling pro wrestling, showcasing Black nightlife and even glittering onstage as Charo.
Survival
Designer leggings and a hoodie can be a matter of life and death when a creative recalls LA's plague years and a dad hunts for signs of his dead son.
Love
A Vegas singer embraces his inner Elvis, boots bring back a kicked-to-the-curb love, and a quilt patches up a family. Love is all sewn up in our duds.

Chicago P.D.
District 21 of the Chicago Police Department is made up of two distinctly different groups. There are the uniformed cops who patrol the beat and go head to head with the city's street crimes. And there's the Intelligence Unit, the team that combats the city's major offenses - organized crime, drug trafficking, high profile murders and beyond. These are their stories.
Chicago Fire
No job is more stressful, dangerous or exhilarating than those of the Firefighters, Rescue Squad and Paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51. These are the courageous men and women who forge headfirst into danger when everyone else is running the other way and whose actions make the difference between life and death. These are their stories.
Abbott Elementary
In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
Young Sherlock
Young Sherlock is touted as an irreverent, action-packed origin story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved detective in an explosive re-imagining of this iconic character. At age 19, Sherlock Holmes is disgraced, raw, unfiltered, and unformed, when he finds himself caught up in a murder mystery at Oxford University which threatens his freedom. Diving into his first-ever case with a wild lack of discipline, Sherlock manages to unravel a globe-trotting conspiracy that will change his life forever.
