"Switched at Birth", a one-hour scripted drama, tells the story of two teenage girls who discover they were accidentally switched as newborns in the hospital. Bay Kennish grew up in a wealthy family with two parents and a brother, while Daphne Vasquez, who lost her hearing at an early age due to a case of meningitis, grew up with a single mother in a working-class neighborhood. Things come to a dramatic head when both families meet and struggle to learn how to live together for the sake of the girls.

"Switched at Birth" stars newcomer Katie Leclerc as Daphne Vasquez; Vanessa Marano ('Gilmore Girls') as Bay Kennish; Constance Marie ('George Lopez') as Regina Vasquez; D.W. Moffett ('Friday Night Lights') as John Kennish; Lea Thompson ('Back to the Future', 'Caroline in the City') as Kathryn Kennish; and Lucas Grabeel ('High School Musical') as Toby Kennish.

The Peabody Award-winning drama series begins its fifth and final season in 2017. The upcoming season picks up from the cliffhanger finale with Daphne and Bay living in China. A mysterious call has them packing for home, where they try to settle back in, but ten months has brought some changes. Daphne finds herself in the midst of racial tensions at the university and witnesses the racism faced by her black friends Iris, Sharee, and new baseball star Chris, in an episode told solely from their perspectives. The 100th episode sees the return of Angelo Sorrento (guest star Gilles Marini) as a vision brought about by a young woman with an unexpected link to the Kennish/Vasquez families.
