Melissa Benoist and her Three Things Productions banner have renewed their overall deal with Warner Bros. Television.
In addition, Benoist has officially signed on to star in and produce the upcoming HBO Max-Wbtv series “The Girls on the Bus.” She was first reported as being in talks for the series back in February.
Under the terms of the overall deal, Benoist and Three Things will continue to develop and produce programming across all platforms for Wbtv. Benoist runs three things with Sahar Kashi, the company’s vice president of development.
“The Girls on the Bus” is inspired by a chapter in Amy Chozick’s book “Chasing Hillary.” Benoist will play Sadie McCarthy, a journalist who romanticizes the original “Boys on the Bus” and who scrapped her whole life for her own shot at covering a presidential campaign for the paper of record. Sadie hits the trail and eventually bonds with three female competitors.
