That Friend Who’s Getting a TV Show

Comedian Sabrina Brier is transforming her audiobook into a television series. Known for her popular TikTok presence and guest roles on shows like “Abbott Elementary,” Brier’s work is now being adapted by Awesomeness TV for the small screen under the title “That Friend.” In a statement, Brier expressed excitement about continuing the story of her character, which started as short-form content online and grew into a full-cast audiobook. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with Awesomeness TV in expanding the world of this special character that holds a dear place in her heart.

Initially appearing as a regular character on Brier’s TikTok, “That Friend” later evolved into an audiobook featuring stars like Danielle Brooks, Nicola Coughlan, Lukas Gage, and both Rachel Dratch and Zegler. The narrative will center around a young adult aspiring to become an influencer in New York City, attempting to launch a podcast while maintaining relationships with her three closest friends. In essence, if the premise of “And Just Like That” were set during the timeframe of “The Carrie Diaries,” that’s approximately how the storyline could be described. As for where the show will ultimately be distributed, Awesomeness TV has a history of collaborating with platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, and Nickelodeon, in addition to producing their own YouTube series.

Correction: An earlier version of this post referred to the title as That Girl.
