Her children, Jackie, Chris and Carl are a mismatched group of siblings consisting of a skeptic, a paranormal investigator and a reluctant psychic. In each episode, viewers will be introduced to an unforgettable cast of family characters including Mary’s outspoken older brother Charles and two adorable grandchildren.

Mary Knows Best (working title) gives a whole new meaning to the term “mother is always right.” The six-episode one-hour series is premieres on Syfy on Thursday, July 15 at 9 p.m
