‘Reality Bites’ Series In Development At Peacock

A reframing of the Gen-X hit film Reality Bites is in the works as a series at Peacock from original screenplay writer Helen Childress (Spanish Princess, Good Girls), who will also executive produce.

The series is centered on the driven, idealistic Lelaina Pierce and her three best friends as they leave college and try “adulting” in the 1990s; as the world around them is on the brink of a seismic shift, they struggle to hold onto who they are, and to each other.
