Everything is Fine (French title, Tout va Bien) is an eight-part Disney Plus series that follows the Vasseur family as they come to terms with some devastating news.

When nine-year-old Rose is diagnosed with leukemia, this shocks the family who are preparing for her to have a bone marrow transplant, with the first episode throwing us right into the deep end.

The series balances the serious topic with some comedy, as each member of the family comes to terms with the diagnosis while attempting to carry on with their everyday lives.

Series creator Camille de Castelnau told us: "I love family shows. I think they are very, very exciting and full of promise. As a scriptwriter, I learned that you have to put your characters through a very big catastrophe to show who they are. And I think the life-threatening condition of a child is one of the worst things you can imagine, it's every parent's nightmare.

"There's also a personal answer, as it was something we experienced within my own family. I learned that we're all different; some people are in denial, some people try to run away, and I wanted to explore how people react in different ways."

Here's everything you need to know about Everything is Fine...

Everything is Fine release date

For UK audiences, the series lands on Disney Plus on Wednesday, February 28. It is already available for French audiences, having premiered on the streaming service last November.

We do not have a confirmed release date for US audiences just yet, so we will keep you updated if this changes.

Everything is Fine plot

Everything is Fine follows a dysfunctional Parisian family who are confronted with the tragic illness of one their children, with the series closely examining each one of the affected characters.

While nine-year-old Rose is at the centre of the narrative, the series works to explore how devastating news can affect everybody around her, as they try to process the information however they can.

When asked about striking the right balance between comedy and tragedy, Camille said: "For me, it was a very natural process, because I think I'm like this in real life. I wanted to make it a realistic show, and to me being realistic wasn't 100% tragedy or 100% comedy. 

"I didn't make an effort to set the tone, I think it's my natural approach to life."
