Netflix Acquires Lizzy Caplan Crisis PR Drama Amid Legal Turmoil

Netflix has secured a new drama series centered on crisis PR, starring Lizzy Caplan as a top crisis PR fixer navigating the complex lives of high-profile clients while managing her own seemingly perfect life. The untitled project, which emerged from a competitive bidding situation involving several major streaming platforms, is inspired by a New York Magazine article about crisis PR veteran Risa Heller. Halley Feiffer, known for her work on 'American Horror Story: Delicate,' will write and serve as showrunner, with production support from A24 and other notable companies. This series comes in the wake of the public legal drama involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, which has highlighted the role of crisis communications in the entertainment industry. The ongoing legal situation has also sparked interest in the behind-the-scenes workings of PR, making this an opportune moment for such a series. The project is currently in development after Netflix outbid competitors like Hulu and Amazon.
