The official synopsis of the docuseries read, "While today’s political and social climate may not seem like the easiest time for a transgender teenager to grow up, you haven’t met her family, the Nourys. They wear their hearts on their sleeves and find irreverent humour in daily life, while Jane sets her sights on life beyond her family.”

Speaking about the series, Jane Noury stated that she saw this series as a love story and added how love stories always had hopes, dreams, and heartache, but best of all—a happily ever after.

"I see Always Jane as a love story. Love stories always have hopes, dreams, and heartache, but best of all—a happily ever after. My family has always abundantly showered my sisters and I with love and acceptance, and that made all the difference in the world for my transition. My genuine hope is that a family who may be struggling with acceptance is inspired to open their hearts and embrace their very own story of love upon viewing Always Jane", she said.

The cast of the series includes Jane Noury, Gabriel Golam, Laura Noury, David Noury, Mae Noury, and Emma Noury.
