The BBC has purchased all five seasons of The Bold Type, an American comedy-drama that follows the outrageous lives of three millennials named Jane, Kat, and Sutton as they work at the most prominent women’s magazine in the United States, Scarlet, in New York City.
Starring Katie Stevens (Faking It) as Jane Sloan, Aisha Dee (Safe Home) as Kat Edison, Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus) as Sutton Brady, Sam Page (Mad Men) as Richard Logan, Matt Ward (Arrow) as Alex Crawford, Melora Hardin (The Office, Transparent) as powerful Editor-in-Chief Jacquelyn Carlyle, and Stephen Conrad Moore (Empire) as Oliver Grayson.
The series is loosely based on the life of former Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan editor Joanna Coles. The Bold Type’s fifth and final season makes its UK premiere, and all five seasons (52 x 45′) will soon be available on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
