Girlboss To Premiere On Netflix This April
Netflix has announced that it will shortly air the new TV series Girlboss, which is inspired by the New York Times best-selling book by Sophia Amoruso, the founder of the fashion brand Nasty Gal.
Girlboss, which will be available for streaming from 21 April, stars Britt Robertson, Ellie Reed, Alphonso McAuley, Johnny Simmons, and Dean Norris.
The series centres on Sophia (Britt Robertson), who began selling vintage clothes on eBay and, by the age of 28, had built the multi-million dollar fashion empire, Nasty Gal.
"It felt like every story was about a flawed man," says the show's creator, Kay Cannon, who was behind the hits Pitch Perfect 1 & 2, as well as 30 Rock, “which is totally fine. But I was really starving to create a story about a woman.”
Charlize Theron (Monster, Young Adult) and Laverne McKinnon, of Denver & Delilah, Christian Ditter (How to Be Single) and Sophia Amoruso will also serve as executive producers. Ditter also directs all 13-half hour episodes.
Charlize Theron describes the show as a homage to amazing but flawed life story of CEO Sophia Amoruso. "I built a whole career on flawed and fucked up characters. I have a love affair with that stuff," she says.
