Quarterlife (stylized as "quarterlife") is an American online series and social network created by Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the creators of thirtysomething, My So-Called Life, and Once and Again. The show is about six twenty-something artists, coming of age in the digital generation.[1]
