EXCLUSIVE: In a major bidding war among top streamers, Amazon has landed All Stars, a half-hour comedy series starring and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon, with a big two-season straight-to-series order.
The project comes from Witherspoon’s production company Hello Sunshine, with the company’s Lauren Neustadter also executive producing. The Devil Wears Prada writer and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend co-creator Aline Brosh McKenna is creator and showrunner. She will direct the pilot and half of the episodes, and will executive produce the series through her Lean Machine banner.
All Stars follows a former cheerleader from Daytona Beach (Witherspoon) who cons her way across the pond to teach cheerleading at a school in coastal England and has to show a ragtag group of students – and herself – how to be All Stars. The concept for the series, which has a little bit of Ted Lasso vibe to it, was loosely inspired by Andrea Kulberg’s story as an American woman from the South who went to the UK to teach British teens about cheerleading.
This marks Witherspoon’s first comedy series starring vehicle, she made her foray into TV series with dramas Big Little Lies at HBO, which originated as a limited series, and The Morning Show at Apple TV+. Before those roles, Oscar winner Witherspoon was probably best known in TV for her guest starring stint on NBC’s hit comedy series Friends as Rachel’s (Jennifer Aniston) sister.
I hear Witherspoon has fulfilled her contractual commitment to The Morning Show, which is now wrapping production on its third season. Witherspoon’s current deal was for three seasons so her future on The Morning Show is unclear but All Stars doesn’t preclude her from exploring further involvement around the Apple TV+
