Amazon Studios has passed on the Sarah Michelle Gellar young adult series in Hot Pink from Annapurna Pictures that co-produced with the streamer, though Deadline Hollywood reports that the project might get shopped around for a new home.

Holm, Rebecca Green, Sue Naegle, and Annapurna's Ali Krug serve as executive producers with director Desiree Akhavan, In the synopsis for Arnold's What Girls Are Made Of: "When Nina Faye was fourteen, her mother told her there was no such thing as unconditional love. Nina believed her. Now she'll do anything for the boy she loves, to prove she's worthy of him. But when he breaks up with her, Nina is lost. What is she if not a girlfriend? What is she made of? Broken-hearted, Nina tries to figure out what the conditions of love are."
