Betches (TV Series)

Post by Sotiris »

The animated TV show which was initially set up at Comedy Central is heading to Freeform.
Millennial-focused media brand Betches is getting the TV treatment. An animated television series based on the young women's humor website and popular Instagram account is in the works at Comedy Central — and Emma Roberts is set to voice one of the characters. Sources say there is a script commitment in place, though the network declined to comment. Betches is described as an irreverent show about three millennial women navigating their 20s in New York, calling shit out as they see it and daring to say out loud what everyone is already thinking. Newcomer Rachel Koller will write the script for the project, which hails from Bunim/Murray and All Screen Productions, a division of Access Entertainment. Her and Roberts will executive produce alongside Betches founders Jordana Abraham, Aleen Kuperman and Samantha Fishbein; Bunim/Murray's Gil Goldschein and Kesila Childers; and All Screen Productions' John Cheng, with Carli Haney producing.

Based on the insanely popular multimedia brand of the same name, created by three millennial women, "Betches" is a half-hour, irreverent animated series that will follow three best friends and roommates as they navigate early adulthood in New York City together. The three women loudly try to figure out who they are in their careers and in love. They make almost every mistake in the book along the way, but they're doing their best to make sure they have an anything-but-basic life. Rachel Koller ("Lady Bits with Lauren Giraldo") will write the pilot and Emma Roberts ("American Horror Story"), Samantha Fishbein (co-founder of Betches Media), Jordana Abraham (co-founder of Betches Media), Aleen Kuperman (co-founder of Betches Media), Carli Haney, Kesila Childers and Gil Goldschein from Bunim-Murray Productions ("Keeping Up With The Kardashians," "The Real World") are set to executive produce.
