Netflix is producing a new drama inspired by Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 run for US president, the BBC reports.
The series will be based on a chapter of Chasing Hillary, a memoir by Amy Chozick who covered the election as a reporter for the New York Times.
Entitled Girls on the Bus, it will follow four female journalists trailing fictional presidential candidates.
“This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me,” Ms Chozick said.
Netflix won the rights to the journalist’s book after a fierce bidding war. The company said it would “follow the every move of a parade of flawed presidential candidates, finding friendship, love, and a scandal that could take down not just the presidency but our entire democracy along the way”.
