The story

What Is Wilder Days About?

The premise of Wilder Days without spoilers.

James “Pop Up” Morse (Peter Falk), a quirky elder in a nursing home, delights his 11‑year‑old grandson Chris (Josh Hutcherson) with vivid stories. Chris’s father John (Tim Daly) is a stern, no‑nonsense man who dismisses Pop Up’s imagination. Convinced John is stifling his son’s creativity, Pop Up leaves the home without permission and embarks on a cross‑country road trip with Chris, a journey filled with unexpected encounters, hoping to give the boy a second chance to dream in this made‑for‑TV family drama.
