This Close is a dramedy television series written by and starring deaf creators Shoshannah Stern and Josh Feldman that premiered on Sundance Now on February 14, 2018.

This Close began as Fridays, Stern and Feldman's Kickstarter web series,[1] and then premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival's Episodic Showcase as The Chances.

It was Sundance Now's first straight-to-series order,[2] and centers on two deaf best friends navigating their twenties in Los Angeles.

[4] Stern says when they were coming up with a title for the TV show, the network kept trying to pitch "words [that] they were trying to use to capture the deaf experience, like 'The Sound of Silence' [or] 'Deaf Like Me.'

Mike Hale of The New York Times called it "funny and poignant in ways we haven't seen before...deftly directed and impressively cast.
