The Girls on the Bus: Max Debuts Trailer for Melissa Benoist-Starrer

Arriving on March 14th, here's the official trailer for Julie Plec & Amy Chozick's Melissa Benoist-starring Max series The Girls on the Bus.


With less than a month to go until Julie Plec & Amy Chozick's Melissa Benoist (Supergirl)-starring The Girls on the Bus hits Max screens (Thursday, March 14th), we're getting our best look yet at the series that's been on our radar since it was first announced. The story centers on Sadie McCarthy (Benoist), a journalist who romanticizes a bygone era of campaign reporting and scraps her whole life for a shot at covering a presidential candidate for a paper of record. Sadie joins the bus and eventually bonds with three female competitors, Grace (Carla Gugino), Lola (Natasha Behnam), and Kimberlyn (Christina Elmore). Despite their differences, the women become a found family with a front-row seat to the greatest soap opera in town – the battle for the White House. Now, we have an official trailer that spotlights the four female journalists – each of them different in their reporting styles and personalities – as they face the highs and lows of the campaign trail.

Stemming from series creators Chozick & Plec and Berlanti Productions (in association with Warner Bros. Television), the character-driven comedic drama series draws its inspiration from "The Girls on the Bus" chapter of Chozick's book Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns and One Intact Glass Ceiling – detailing Chozick's experiences on a number of presidential campaign trails. Chozick and Plec are set to executive-produce the streaming series alongside showrunner Rina Mimoun – as well as Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, and Marcos Siega; Jesse Peretz executive-produced and directed the pilot, with Benoist serving as a producer.
