Hollywood, Calif. - February 1, 2019 - Netflix today announced that it has begun production on its all-new live action comedy series Team Kaylie starring actress-singer Bryana Salaz (Best Friends Whenever, The Voice). Team Kaylie was created by Emmy-winning producer Tracy Bitterolf (Emma Approved). The series was developed and is executive produced by Emmy-nominated producer Pamela Eells O'Connell (Jessie, Bunk'd) through her company Bon Mot Productions. She also serves as showrunner. The series is being directed by Bob Koherr (The Conners, Jessie).
In the Netflix original series, Salaz plays Kaylie Konrad, a rich, nineteen-year-old selfie obsessed celebrity who receives a community service court order to lead the wilderness club at an inner city middle school. When she is forced outside of her comfort zone in every possible way, she proves to her followers, the kids, and herself that she is more than just the pretty face her domineering mom-ager has always prized.
I set out to make a show that I would have wanted to watch when I was eight years old, said Tracy Bitterolf. I ended up with a show that I want to watch as an adult, too, which means Team Kaylie is for kids and adults alike, or that I haven't matured at all. Either way, I'm thrilled to be in business with Netflix at a time when they are so committed to making compelling content that resonates with kids and family audiences.
Starring alongside Salaz will be:
Alison Fernandez (Once Upon a Time) as Amber, a tough, impulsive, and street smart student leader of the Wilderness Club, who is less than thrilled by Kaylie's presence
Symera Jackson (Disney Channel's Sydney To The Max) as Jackie, a straight A-student and rule follower who lives to people please and get into an Ivy League college
Elie Samouhi (Bizaardvark) as Chewy, a bumbling class clown who stumbles to the beat of his own drum
Kai Calhoun as Ray Ray, a pop-culture vulture who is fabulous, and he knows it. He worships Kaylie almost as much as her wardrobe
Eliza Pryor (Alexa & Katie) as Valeria, a would-be witch whose spells are almost as bad as her people skills
Over the course of the series, Kaylie and her Wilderness Club members will come together to find common ground: they're all a little lost; they're all looking desperately for a roadmap through life. And they will find that the only way to come out safely on the other side is to find some good friends to stick it out with.
