Freeform is getting into the animation game with two women-centric, women-made pilots. Per Deadline, the network is developing “Betches” and “Woman World.” The former is an extension of the multimedia brand created by Samantha Fishbein, Jordana Abraham, and Aleen Kuperman. The latter is based on the web comic and graphic novel written and animated by Aminder Dhaliwal.
“Betches,” a half-hour show, centers on three best friends and roommates trying to get through early adulthood in New York City. “The three women loudly try to figure out who they are in their careers and in love,” the source describes. “They make almost every mistake in the book along the way, but they’re doing their best to make sure they have an anything-but-basic life.”
Rachel Koller (“Lady Bits with Lauren Giraldo”) is penning the “Betches” pilot. Actress Emma Roberts is producing, as are Fishbein, Abraham, and Kuperman.
“Woman World,” like its source material, takes place in a reality where men have gone extinct. Also a half-hour, its characters depend “on each other for survival as they search for love and their identity in this ladies-only existence.”
“Woman World’s” pilot is written by Dhaliwal and executive produced by Felicia Day (“The Guild”).
