The Girls on the Bus is an upcoming political drama by Amy Chozick and Julie Plec. The series, inspired by Chozick’s 2018 memoir Chasing Hillary “chronicles 4 female journalists who follow every move of a parade of flawed presidential candidates, while finding friendship, love, and scandal along the way.”
The 10-episode series is set to premiere on Max on March 14th with two episodes. It stars Melissa Benoist, Natasha Behnam, Christina Elmore, and Carla Gugino. And, in preparation for the show, Max has released a pretty fun video where we can “get to know” the four leading ladies of the show, including Fangirlish favorite Benoist, who we followed for many years on Supergirl. And hey, learning more about actors we love is always great!
You can check out the video below.
THE GIRLS ON THE BUS invites viewers to hit the campaign trail alongside four female journalists, each of them different in their reporting styles and personalities. The story centers on Sadie McCarthy (Melissa Benoist), a journalist who romanticizes a bygone era of campaign reporting and scraps her whole life for a shot at covering a presidential candidate for a paper of record. Sadie joins the bus and eventually bonds with three female competitors, Grace (Carla Gugino), Lola (Natasha Behnam), and Kimberlyn (Christina Elmore). Despite their differences, the women become a found family with a front-row seat to the greatest soap opera in town – the battle for the White House.
