Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner: From Summer House to Netflix Comedy Stars
Summer House stars Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner are expanding their careers by starring in a new Netflix comedy series. The streaming platform is developing a half-hour scripted comedy co-written and headlined by the best friends. The show will be produced by Amy Poehler and co-written by Kay Cannon, known for her work on 30 Rock.
Set in New York City, the untitled project will feature fictionalized versions of Paige and Hannah. The show is expected to showcase their dynamic friendship and humor, drawing comparisons to a modern-day Laverne and Shirley. The duo, who first met while working at the same company in NYC, became close friends on the reality TV show Summer House.
Hannah and Paige, who have since ventured into podcasting with their award-winning show Giggly Squad, will also serve as executive producers on the new comedy series. The project originated from an idea by the two women and is being produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
Having left Summer House to pursue other opportunities, Hannah focused on her stand-up comedy career, while Paige delved into the world of fashion influencing. The duo's chemistry and comedic timing have earned them recognition, including winning iHeart's Podcast of the Year award for Giggly Squad. They have also dabbled in acting, with appearances in projects like Mindy Kaling's upcoming Hulu series.
With their new Netflix comedy series in the works, fans can look forward to seeing Paige and Hannah bring their unique brand of humor and friendship to the small screen. The show promises to be a fun and entertaining portrayal of their real-life bond, showcasing their talents and personalities in a scripted comedy format.
