Netflix's New Little House on the Prairie Series Coming Soon; Sabrina Brier Gets Awesomeness TV Series
Little House on the Prairie, a reimagining of the Laura Ingalls Wilder book series, is coming to Netflix! Part family drama, part survival tale, and part origin story, the series will offer a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the American West. More details still to come!
Awesomeness TV has acquired the rights to That Friend, the debut audiobook created by rising comedian Sabrina Brier. Set against the vibrant, Gen Z-driven energy of New York City, the upcoming series will follow a 20-something aspiring influencer as she navigates the chaos of building her podcast while balancing life with her three best friends, coping with a dwindling bank account, and chasing her dreams of making it big. That Friend, the series, is based on Brier's audiobook, released recently by Simon & Schuster. Awesomeness TV serves as executive producer and the studio for the project.
Sabrina Brier is an actress, writer, and comedian known for her wildly popular internet content (her top TikTok video nearing 15 million views). Brier has been named on The Hollywood Reporter's "The Creators A-List," Vulture's "Comedians You Should Know", Variety's "Power of New York" list, Rolling Stone's "Creators You Need to Know" and has been featured in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and graced the cover of Paper Magazine. Brier recently appeared on the Emmy Award-winning series Abbott Elementary and has performed her live comedy in some of New York's most iconic venues. The multihyphenate recently performed as part of Netflix's It's a Joke Festival in Los Angeles. Previously, Brier served as a writer's assistant for Hank Steinberg on the ABC Drama Series he created, For Life. She also worked as both writer's assistant and actress on Steven Soderbergh's web series COMMAND Z. Her original pilot, Divine, was recognized as Top 25 Best Pilots of 2021 by Roadmap Writers. A native of Connecticut, Sabrina Brier attended Smith College.
