About The Girls on the Bus TV Series:
The Girls on the Bus is an American political drama television series starring Melissa Benoist, Carla Gugino, Christina Elmore, Natasha Behnam, and Brandon Scott. It is inspired by the 2018 novel Chasing Hilary by Amy Chozick, who created the series with Julie Plec.
The series first began development in August 2019 at Netflix. However, by September 2021, Netflix had dropped the series, which would then move over to The CW and receive a rework by Amy Chozick and Julie Plec. The series would again change networks in February 2022 to HBO Max, where it was issued a series order.
Production on the series had begun by October 1, 2022, when Amy Chozick announced on Instagram that filming had wrapped on the pilot episode.
