HBO To Launch Female Skateboarding Comedy Series.
All info via Variety & Deadline
If you loved the Skate Kitchen movie, get ready, because HBO is developing a female skateboarding comedy series that hails from Crystal Moselle and Lesley Arfin.
Inspired by the film “Skate Kitchen,” which Moselle directed and co-wrote, the untitled series is set against the backdrop of New York City and will follow a diverse group of young women navigating their lives through the predominantly male oriented world of skateboarding.
Moselle and Arfin will write and executive produce the series, with Moselle also attached to direct.
“As girls we were never brave enough to try skateboarding,” Arfin and Moselle said. “We’re excited to work on a project that could potentially get other girls to feel inspired enough to face their fears, fight the patriarchy and start shredding. Women are changing the game across industries all over this country. Why not add skateboarding to that list?”
Will the orginal Skate Kitchen crew star in this series? We hope so, these rad ladies are what make The Skate Kitchen what it is!
