Girlboss Snags Britt Robertson For Lead Role

 

Girlboss, the latest original series setting up shop at Netflix, has zeroed in on its leading lady: Tomorrowland star Britt Robertson. Hatched by Pitch Perfect scribe Kay Cannon, the 13-episode comedy takes cues from Sophia Amoruso’s popular memoir of the same name. Cannon is attached to produce the series alongside Charlize Theron, Laverne McKinnon, Christian Ditter and Amoruso herself. Ditter will serve as director on Girlboss.

At the crux of the story, though, is Sophie a “rebellious, broke anarchist who refuses to grow up. She stumbles upon her passion of selling vintage clothes online and becomes an unlikely businesswoman. As she builds her retail fashion empire, she realizes the value and the difficulty of being the boss of her own life”

Girlboss is expected to premiere exclusively on Netflix at some point in 2017.
