Lights, Camera, Calabasas!
Calabasas, CA–As you drive up to Santa Barbara from Los Angeles, on the 101 you pass “Calabasas”. I often wonder on that drive – why do so many celebs live out here? You wonder that too? Well, grab your popcorn, silence your cellphones, and hold on to your shallots! The small screen is about to get a big dose of Calabasas charm because Netflix has just rolled out the red carpet for its latest blockbuster-in-the-making, “Calabasas.” And guess who’s behind the curtain? None other than reality royalty Kim Kardashian, scream queen Emma Roberts, and the mastermind of teen drama, I. Marlene King. Deal with it.
A Star-Studded Affair
“Calabasas” is poised to be the new “it” thing – at least that’s what Netflix is hoping. Kim K is not just keeping up with television; she’s making it her kingdom, alongside Emma Roberts, who’s swapping out her horror story credentials for something a bit closer to real life.
The plot? Oh, it’s pretty juicy. Inspired by Via Bleidner’s tell-all tome about life under the Calabasas sun, the show follows a 16-year-old Catholic schoolgirl who transfers to the infamous Calabasas High. Here, the stakes are high and the Gucci belts are tight. Imagine the shock of trading in hymnals for Yeezys!
From Page to Screen
Under the watchful eye of I. Marlene King, who’s penned her fair share of twisted tales with “Pretty Little Liars,” the adaptation promises to weave a web of secrets, lies, and Instagram-worthy scandal. Joining her are Kardashian and her media maven crew, including Lauren Wagner and a roster of executive producers that reads like a who’s who of Hollywood.
Netflix, spotting the glitter amidst the glam, snagged the rights quicker than a Kardashian news cycle. And why wouldn’t they? With the city of Calabasas as a backdrop (a place more famous for star maps than star students), the series will dig deep into what it means to grow up in the spotlight’s shadow. I mean, Will and Jada live there so you know it’s juicy.
Expect the Unexpected
Set to premiere in the hallowed halls of Netflix in 2024, “Calabasas” will offer viewers a VIP pass to the most exclusive circles of teen angst. Kardashian, a Calabasas connoisseur herself, brings authenticity to the table, promising a show that’s as real as reality TV can get, but with better lighting. Ha. You see what we did there?
And while the bell hasn’t rung yet, the buzz is undeniable. Critics and fans alike are waiting to see if this series will make the honor roll or end up in detention. Either way, it’s clear: Netflix is betting big on Calabasas – where the drama is rich and the characters are richer.
