The coming-of-age comedy, titled Hot Pink, will chronicle the “the real, knotted, messy, thriving heartbeat of young womanhood through the eyes of a 16-year-old girl” after she gets dumped by her boyfriend.
Hot Pink is loosely inspired by Elana K. Arnold’s young-adult novel What Girls Are Made Of, and will be helmed by Elisabeth Holm (Obvious Child) and directed by Desiree Akhavan (The Miseducation of Cameron Post).
This will be Gellar’s first TV series since the short-lived ABC comedy, The Crazy Ones (2013-2014), which starred the late Robin Williams.
She also led another short-lived TV drama, Ringer (2011-2012), which was cancelled after one season. (Still not over it, to be honest).
