Ashley Tisdale ‘Toxic Moms’ Comedy In Works At Netflix With Sabrina Jalees & Ali Wong
Actress Ashley Tisdale has secured a development deal with Netflix for a comedy series capitalising on her viral cultural moment. Titled "Toxic Moms," the half-hour dark comedy stars Tisdale as a sleep-deprived new mother who becomes entangled with a clique of wealthy, seemingly sophisticated women. When the group's true nature emerges, the series examines the compromises mothers might make in pursuit of community and belonging.
The project stems from Tisdale's personal experience as a mother of two and her widely-shared January essay in The Cut, which described her departure from a group of celebrity mothers and sparked widespread online speculation about their identities. Written by Sabrina Jalees, the series joins Netflix's expanding slate of female-led comedies, with Tisdale, Jalees, and Ali Wong serving as executive producers.
