‘90s Dream Team Becomes Reality…Pop Orders Eight Episodes of “HOLLYWOOD DARLINGS,” with Fan Favorite Television Stars and Real-Life Besties Jodie Sweetin, Christine Lakin and Beverley Mitchell
New Unscripted Docu-Comedy Brings Together Former Child Stars of
“Full House” “7th Heaven” and “Step by Step,”
as They Face Life’s Toughest Roles as Moms, Wives and Businesswomen
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Three fan favorite child stars of the ‘90s – Jodie Sweetin (“Full
House,” “Fuller House”), Christine Lakin (“Step By Step”) and Beverley
Mitchell (“7th Heaven”) have signed on to star in HOLLYWOOD
DARLINGS, a new unscripted docu-comedy series on Pop.
The network ordered eight half-hour episodes, which will follow three
lifelong friends who grew up together in “the business,” became
household names, and now take on even bigger roles as moms, wives and
businesswomen. Their social circles include other celebrities, who will
make special appearances throughout the series.
“Our childhood characters prepared us for the roles of our lives…
literally. There really aren’t words to describe the way we grew up and
the bond we share, so we decided that we wanted to give a glimpse into
our unique sisterhood,” said Sweetin, Lakin and Mitchell. “Our fans have
always been at the heart of it all, and we love that we have found a
home on Pop. We’re so excited to go on this journey and take people
inside our lives post-childhood fame.”
“Anyone who was a TV fan in the ‘90s grew up with Jodie, Christine and
Beverley –aspiring to be their best friends, wanting to dress like them
and using their popular catchphrases,” said Paul Adler, Senior Vice
President of Original Programing and Development, Pop. “HOLLYWOOD
DARLINGS provides an amazing opportunity for viewers to reignite their
fandom for this now grown-up trio whose lives are as entertaining as
they are relatable.”
HOLLYWOOD DARLINGS is based on an original concept by Jimmy Fox (“Mob
Wives,” “United Shades of America”). The series is produced by Objective
Productions USA and All3Media America with Jimmy Fox, Layla Smith and
Greg Lipstone serving as Executive Producers.
