The TV adaptation of journalist Amy Chozick’s memoir “Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns and One Intact Glass Ceiling” is moving forward at Netflix. Per Variety, the streamer has given a series order to the drama, entitled “The Girls on the Bus,” “in a competitive situation.” “Vampire Diaries” creator Julie Plec will write and exec produce alongside Chozick.

“Girls on the Bus” is inspired by the “Chasing Hillary” chapter of the same name. The series will focus on four women journalists “who follow the every move of a parade of flawed presidential candidates, finding friendship, love, and a scandal that could take down not just the presidency but our entire democracy along the way.” Neither Hillary Clinton nor the 2016 election will be spotlighted, the source reports.

Last fall Warner Bros. snagged the rights to “Chasing Hillary.” Warner Bros. Television will produce “The Girls on the Bus,” and Berlanti Productions’ Sarah Schechter and Greg Berlanti will EP. Berlanti Productions and Plec’s My So-Called Company shingle are both under overall deals at Warner Bros. TV.

Plec created and served as showrunner on “The Vampire Diaries” and its spinoff, “The Originals.” She also created and exec produces another spinoff, “Legacies.” She’s directed episodes of the latter, “The Vampire Diaries,” “Riverdale,” and “Roswell, New Mexico.”

Chozick currently writes for the Times, and was its lead reporter covering Clinton’s 2016 campaign. Chozick previously worked at The Wall Street Journal and has consulted on “House of Cards.” She received the William Randolph Hearst Fellows Award in 2017 and has been recognized by the Society for Feature Journalism Excellence-in-Features Writing Competition.
