It’s an understandable New York City teen’s fear. Her dad moves her from the bustling city to a world of eternally youthful mothers, huge SUVs, trimmed lawns, and gossiping neighbors. That’s the set up for ABC’s new comedy series, Suburgatory, which premieres Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.

Jane Levy (who played Mandy on Showtime's Shameless) stars as 16-year-old Tessa, a city girl whose fear becomes realized when her single father (George, played by Jeremy Sisto) decides to move her to the suburbs for a “better life.”

Levy, a product of Northern Calif. suburbs herself, says she doesn’t think suburban dwellers will take offense at the show’s take on the lifestyle.

“I think people are going to say, ‘Oh, that’s my neighbor.’ They’re not going to admit it’s them, because they’d never be able to,” Levy, 21, tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m from the suburbs and where I’m from didn’t necessarily have people like you see in Suburgatory, but along those lines and I think people will laugh at themselves. And it’s lighthearted.“
