Melissa Benoist Officially Signs On For The Girls On The Bus

Melissa Benoist has officially signed on for HBO Max’s series, The Girls On The Bus! The news comes after it was announced that Benoist and her production company, Three Things Productions had renewed their deal with Warner Bros. Television Group.

Earlier this year, we announced that she would star as Sadie McCarthy, a journalist who romanticizes Tim Crouse’s Boys on the Bus book and who scrapped her whole life for her own shot at covering a presidential campaign for the paper of record. Sadie hits the trail and eventually bonds with three female competitors. 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.

The series is based on Amy Chozick’s bestselling book Chasing Hillary, “Inspired by “The Girls on the Bus” chapter in Chozick’s book Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns and One Intact Glass Ceiling.
