NBC Orders Series Pick Up Auli’i Cravalho’s New Series, Rise

NBC has officially given the go ahead on Auli’i Cravalho’s new show, Rise! The network made the announcement today, May 4.

“Rise was inspired by the story of groundbreaking high school drama teacher Lou Volpe as chronicled in the book Drama High. In the hourlong project, when dedicated teacher and family man Lou Mazzuchelli (Radnor) sheds his own self-doubt and takes over the school’s lackluster theater department, he galvanizes not only the faculty and students but the entire working-class town.”

More information regarding its pick up will be announced at the NBC Upfront on Monday, May 8! I am so glad they decided to pick her show up. I can’t wait to see it.
