Netflix's New Comedy Series 'Toxic Moms' Starring Ashley Tisdale, Sabrina Jalees, and Ali Wong
Ashley Tisdale, known for her role in High School Musical, is collaborating with Sabrina Jalees and Ali Wong on a new comedy series titled Toxic Moms, which has been picked up by Netflix for development. The show, expected to star Tisdale, follows a new mom who joins a group of wealthy mothers but soon discovers their darker side. The series explores the theme of motherhood and the lengths one would go to find a sense of community.
Tisdale, Jalees, and Wong are serving as executive producers on Toxic Moms, with Wong potentially directing if the show gets picked up. The concept for the series draws from Tisdale's own experiences as a mother of two young children, as highlighted in her widely shared essay "Breaking Up with My Toxic Mom Group." The show aims to join Netflix's lineup of female-led comedy series, including Running Point, Nobody Wants This, The Survival of the Thickest, and North of North.
Ashley Tisdale, known for her roles in Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and the High School Musical franchise, has also appeared in other TV shows like Hellcats and Merry Happy Whatever. She has executive produced and appeared in various comedy series and is currently working on a multi-camera comedy titled You're Only Young Twice for CBS. Tisdale is represented by Gersh and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.
Sabrina Jalees, the writer of Toxic Moms, is represented by WME and OPE Partners, while Ali Wong, known for her work in Always Be My Maybe and Beef, is represented by UTA and Hansen Jacobson Teller. The collaboration between Tisdale, Jalees, and Wong on Toxic Moms promises to bring a fresh and comedic take on the challenges of motherhood and the quest for connection in a competitive world.
