Steven Soderbergh is keeping himself busy in the TV world isn’t he? Not only has he been busy filming The Knick but it has been revealed that a TV series based on his 2009 movie THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE is on its way too!
The scripted anthology series will consist of 13 half-hour episodes that explore the relationships of the most exclusive courtesans who provide their clients with far man than just sex. The original movie starred Sasha Grey as a high-end call girl dealing with the challenges of her life, boyfriend and clients.
Speaking in a press release, Soderbergh said:
“When Philip floated the idea of a Girlfriend Experience-inspired television show, I thought: ‘let’s make it a different woman in a different city, let’s pair two independent writer/directors, one male and one female, and let them do the whole thing.’
The two independent writers that will helm the project are Lodge Kerrigan (REBECCA H. (RETURN OF THE DOGS)) and actress/writer Amy Seimetz. Soderbergh is attached to the project as an executive producer alongside Philip Fleishman.
We have to say we can’t wait to see how this goes! What do you think?
