Meet Frank Gallagher: proud, working-class patriarch to a motley brood of six smart, spirited and independent kids who, without him, would be…better off. The brilliant William H. Macy (Fargo, Seabiscuit, Door to Door, ER), and Emmy Rossum (Mystic River, The Phantom of the Opera) star in this wildly engaging and fearlessly twisted new drama. The Gallaghers may not have much in the way of money or rules, but they know who they are—and they're absolutely, wildly, unapologetically SHAMELESS.

William H. Macy stars in this racy and edgy adaptation of the long-running British family drama as Frank Gallagher, the alcoholic patriarch of a large, unconventional, blue-collar family. In the U.S. version, the sprawling Gallagher family has been transplanted to working-class Chicago during the challenging times of today's recession. Making ends meet is always difficult, especially with a mother who is AWOL and a father who usually ends up passed out on the living room floor. Emmy Rossum stars as oldest daughter Fiona, who is left to the often impossible task of keeping her five younger brothers and sisters on track.
