Coming to Netflix worldwide outside of Canada and on STACKTV in Canada on May 30th is the new series Geek Girl. Based on Holly Smale’s bestselling young adult books, Geek Girl tells the story of awkward teenager Harriet Manners. Whose life is turned upside down when she is spotted to be a model. And embarks on a life-affirming journey of self-discovery as she balances high school and high fashion. The first-look images from the series have been released today.
THE PREMISE
The coming-of-age series follows sixteen-year-old Harriet Manners, who has spent her life trying to be invisible. To blend in seamlessly, but there’s no denying, she’s a geek. Her whole world changes after she catches the eye of a modelling agent while on a school trip to London Fashion Week. Tightly wound agents, reclusive designers, impossibly high heels. And a handsome young supermodel with a great smile — socially awkward Harriet has no idea what she’s in for. Emily Carey (House of The Dragon, Wonder Woman) stars as Harriet.
The all-star cast also includes Emmanuel Imani (Riches, The Wheel Of Time) as Wilbur Evans. Sarah Parish (Industry, Stay Close) as Jude Paignton. Liam Woodrum (Love In Zion National) as Nick Park. Tim Downie (Outlander, Paddington) as Richard Manners. Zac Looker (A Kind of Spark) as Toby Pilgrim. Jemima Rooper (Flowers in the Attic: The Origin) as Annabel Manners. Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Foundation, The Wheel of Time) as Yuji Lee. Daisy Jelley (London Kills) as Poppy Hepple-Cartwright. And introducing Rochelle Harrington as Natalie Grey.
