## Spoilers

### Premise and cast

Paramount+ announced the series in February 2023 as an eight-part docuseries giving cameras access to what Stallone, a three-time Academy Award nominee, called the greatest role of his lifetime: dad.<sup>[1](https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/paramount-plus/shows/the-family-stallone/releases/?view=101737-paramount-announces-the-family-stallone-featuring-one-of-hollywoods-most-famous-families-to-premiere-this-spring)</sup> The family said the idea grew out of the podcast *Unwaxed*, which Sophia and Sistine host together; Sistine said listeners kept wanting to see more of the family after guest appearances on the show.<sup>[7](https://www.chinadailyhk.com/hk/article/331389)</sup>

The regular cast comprises Sylvester Stallone; Jennifer Flavin Stallone, a businesswoman and co-owner of the wellness brand Serious Skin Care; eldest daughter Sophia, who hosts *Unwaxed* and has no interest in acting; Sistine, an actress and model developing her first feature film; youngest daughter Scarlet, then moving into her own college apartment and appearing alongside her father in his series *Tulsa King*; and Stallone's brother Frank.<sup>[1](https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/paramount-plus/shows/the-family-stallone/releases/?view=101737-paramount-announces-the-family-stallone-featuring-one-of-hollywoods-most-famous-families-to-premiere-this-spring)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_family_stallone)</sup> In an interview around the premiere, Stallone said the family wanted to share their life because it is entertaining, and that despite wealth they have the same needs for love as anyone else; asked about comparisons with *The Kardashians*, he said the Kardashians were brilliant and original but that his family was taking a different tack.<sup>[7](https://www.chinadailyhk.com/hk/article/331389)</sup>

### Seasons

**Season 1** premiered with two episodes on May 17, 2023, and ran weekly through June 28, 2023.<sup>[2](https://tvdocket.com/shows/the-family-stallone/)</sup> Episodes follow the daughters' transitions, including Scarlet leaving for college, Sophia's long-distance relationship and annual heart check-up, and Sistine's horror-movie script, alongside Stallone's return from months filming *Tulsa King* in Oklahoma and an emotional trip to his childhood home of Philadelphia.<sup>[8](https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/the-family-stallone/episodes/1/)</sup> The debut broke records as the No. 1 original reality series premiere on Paramount+, and Season 2 was greenlit within a week.<sup>[5](https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/the-family-stallone/news/1010591/the-family-stallone-season-2-gets-greenlight/)</sup>

**Season 2** dropped all 10 episodes on February 21, 2024, in the U.S. and Canada, and on February 22 in the UK and Australia.<sup>[9](https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/paramount-plus/shows/the-family-stallone/releases/?view=109085-paramount-announces-second-season-of-the-family-stallone-to-premiere-february-21)</sup> The season follows the family leaving Los Angeles: Sophia and Sistine pursue their goals in New York City, Scarlet navigates college and a new relationship in Miami, and Sly and Jen set up roots in Palm Beach as empty nesters, with the season culminating in a trip to Italy to explore the family's history in Sly's ancestral hometown.<sup>[9](https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/paramount-plus/shows/the-family-stallone/releases/?view=109085-paramount-announces-second-season-of-the-family-stallone-to-premiere-february-21)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[10](https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/the-family-stallone/episodes/)</sup> No third season has been confirmed, and listings mark the series as ended.<sup>[2](https://tvdocket.com/shows/the-family-stallone/)</sup>

## Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes the series holds a 78% Tomatometer from 9 critics with an average rating of 6.70/10, and a 65% audience score.<sup>[3](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_family_stallone)</sup> Critics generally credited Stallone's own screen presence. Anita Singh of *The Daily Telegraph* argued that the show avoids becoming a coldly mercenary venture only because Stallone is so inherently appealing and because the family's mutual affection is obvious; Hamish Macbain of the *London Evening Standard* described it as trash television that remains highly watchable thanks to its charming patriarch.<sup>[11](https://www.filmaffinity.com/uk/film614182.html)</sup> More negative takes came from Leila Latif of *The Guardian*, who found the family's insistence on portraying themselves as perfect deeply weird, and Dustin Rowles of Pajiba, who called the series painfully mundane and airbrushed.<sup>[12](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/may/18/the-family-stallone-review-what-the-hell-is-going-on-with-this-bizarre-editing-of-slys-life)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[13](https://www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/review-the-family-stallone-is-vacuous-even-for-reality-tv.php)</sup>

**Editing and omissions drew particular comment.** The series was filmed during a period when Stallone and Flavin's marriage was publicly troubled: Flavin filed for divorce on August 19, 2022, and proceedings were reportedly put on hold on September 21, 2022, while Stallone covered tattoos of his wife's face during the same period.<sup>[12](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/may/18/the-family-stallone-review-what-the-hell-is-going-on-with-this-bizarre-editing-of-slys-life)</sup> Latif argued that scenes were filmed later and edited to make it seem the family was not going through a rough patch, calling the result a mesmerisingly strange rewriting of history.<sup>[12](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/may/18/the-family-stallone-review-what-the-hell-is-going-on-with-this-bizarre-editing-of-slys-life)</sup> Common Sense Media likewise observed that the show stays away from actual family drama and is heavily edited to create a young, energetic, positive vibe.<sup>[4](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/the-family-stallone)</sup> Decider's Joel Keller concluded it is mainly a harmless reality distraction that does not give much insight into Sly's life with his family.<sup>[11](https://www.filmaffinity.com/uk/film614182.html)</sup>
