HBO Orders Rachel Sennott Comedy Pilot
HBO is betting on another fresh female comedy voice, giving a pilot order to a half-hour starring, written and executive produced by Rachel Sennott.
Sennott, who is executive producing alongside Barry alums Emma Barrie and Aida Rodgers, is looking to follow in the footsteps of other rising female comedy creators/performers whose pilots about 20somethings navigating life and relationships became hit HBO series, Lena Dunham’s Girls and Issa Rae’s Insecure. Her first TV acting role was in an episode of the network’s comedy-drama High Maintenance and she most recently recurred on HBO’s The Idol. Sennott, who will next be seen playing Rosie Shuster in SNL 1975 and also co-stars in the Nicole Kidman thriller Holland, Michigan, is repped by WME, Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment and Yorn Levine Barnes.
