“The Vampire Diaries,” and its spinoff shows “The Originals” and “Legacies,” has moved on to less magical fare with the Max series “The Girls on the Bus.” “I like writing about emotions,” Plec told The Post. “I like making people feel things, and I have found in my career, when you write in a young adult space, people are more open to having those raw feelings.
So to me, the young adult space will be where I ground my heart. “But, the more I can get away with making people have all the feels in more adult storytelling, the more I’m going to do it.”Now streaming (with new episodes out Thursdays) and co-created by Plec and Amy Chozick, “The Girls on the Bus” follows four female reporters covering the presidential campaign of front-runner Caroline Walker (Joanna Gleason).
There’s idealistic Sadie McCarthy (Melissa Benoist, “Supergirl”); seasoned veteran Grace Gordon Greene (Carla Gugino); conservative TV correspondent Kimberlyn Kendrick (Christina Elmore); and social media influencer Lola Rahaii (Natasha Behnam).“I love Grace so much, because she reminds me of all the badass female producers I worked with, coming up in the business,” said Plec. Even though the show is loosely based on Chozick’s 2018 memoir, “Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling,” the presidential campaign is fictionalized, which is on purpose, Plec said.
“The premise we had at the beginning was nobody wants to relitigate the 2016 election. And nobody wants to acknowledge the world we’re currently living in,” said Plec.
