Rachel Sennott is working on a new HBO comedy

The Bottoms actress will star in, write, and executive-produce the new series

Rachel Sennott will star in, write and executive-produce her own comedy series for HBO.

The series, which is currently untitled, follows a codependent friend group that reunites and navigates how time, ambition, and new relationships have changed them.

According to Deadline, Sennott has recruited Barry writers Emma Barrie and Aida Rodgers to help produce.

This isn’t the first time Sennott has worked with HBO. The Bottoms star’s first ever TV acting role was in an episode of HBO’s comedy-drama High Maintenance, and more recently she appeared in The Idol.

Shortly after graduating the Tisch School of the Arts in 2017, Sennott starred in the short film version of Shiva Baby, reprising her starring role and executive producing the 2020 feature film adaptation. She then went on to star in comedy horror Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and teen comedy Bottoms, which Sennott also co-wrote and executive produced.

In addition, she teamed up with her Bottoms co-star Ayo Edebiri for Ayo and Rachel Are Single and Speak Up for Comedy Central in 2020 and was a series regular on the 2021 ABC comedy series Call Your Mother.
