The streamer announced a new series, Sunshine Girls, on Friday. The series, hailing from digital studio Brat TV and created by Rob Fishman and Nuria Anson, will star Alma Marian, Isabella Fowler and Erin Rose Park. It’s set to premiere in December.
“Valley Hills is a perfectly nice California suburb… unless, like Olivia (Marian), you’ve lived in New York City your whole life,” the show’s logline reads. “When her parents split up, Olivia is suddenly the new kid at Valley High, where she meets horse girl Taylor (Fowler) and influencer Riley (Park). Freshman year comes at them fast, with false starts, first kisses and family drama, but together these unlikely best friends will find their place in the sun.”

Fishman and Anson are executive producing Sunshine Girls. Elisabeth Rogge, Mary Lambert and Gavin Laing are writers on the series, and Alex Tarr will direct.
Netflix also revealed some details on another project with origins in the digital space. Minimum Wage, from American High and based on the studio’s short-form show of the same name, has added Randall Park to the cast. Fourteen episodes (clocking in at 12 1/2 minutes each) are set to premiere later this year.
American High founder Jeremy Garelick and Will Phelps serve as showrunners, writers and executive producers. Netflix describes the show as an ensemble workplace series set inside a “chaotic local pizza shop. “Minimum Wage follows a group of teenage employees battling power-tripping managers, an unhinged rush and the slow grind of service-industry burnout.”
Park will play the manager of the pizza place alongside the cast of the digital series: Aidan Micho, Grace Reiter, Hyde Healy, Julia Dicesare, Luke Burke, Ryan Micho and Tommy Armstrong.
