United States of Tara - Mondays at 10:30PM ET/PT

About the Series

Executive Produced by Steven Spielberg and created by the Academy Award® winning writer of Juno, the SHOWTIME Original Series United States of Tara™ is back for an all-new second season. Suburban wife and mother Tara Gregson (Emmy® Award winner Toni Collette) juggles her family and career while suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder — a condition formerly known as multiple personality disorder. It's never a dull moment in the Gregson household, as Tara's supportive husband Max and their two teenaged children, Kate and Marshall, try to lead as much of a "normal" life as possible.

Who is Tara?

Meet Tara Gregson — just your average wife and mother of two. But something sets Tara apart from the rest of the booster club moms in her suburban neighborhood. Tara suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), which results in the appearance of several eccentric alternate personalities at the most inopportune of times. There is the wild and flirty "T," the 1950s Betty Crocker housewife Alice, and beer guzzling Vietnam vet Buck.

What Have I Missed So Far?

Determined to uncover the true origins of her DID, Tara took a break from her medication last season — leading to the return of past personalities, as well as some new surprises along the way. The more Tara learns about the source of her disorder, the more her family's world starts to unravel. Will Tara be able to unlock her mind's deepest secrets?
