Washingtonienne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about a television series. For the Washingtonienne scandal in which a congressional aide admitted in a blog to exchanging sex for money, see Jessica Cutler.

Washingtonienne is an HBO comedy series developed by Sarah Jessica Parker.

Cast

Kate Burton, Rachael Taylor, Bitsie Tulloch and Amanda Walsh will star in the pilot, which is based on Jessica Cutler's scandalous blog-turned-novel and is executive produced by Sarah Jessica Parker. David Furr has also landed a role on the show, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Jason Dohring has also come on board as Spencer.

Premise

The show will follow the exploits of Jackie (Rachael Taylor), who moves to Washington, D.C. to pursue a career as a speechwriter but finds herself in a low-level job as a congressional staffer. She seeks guidance from a college friend who's living a quiet life with her boyfriend, who has a professional crush on the senator for whom he works. Walsh will play a workaholic fellow staffer. Dohring[1] will play Spencer, a senior legislative assistant for the same senator for whom Jackie works.

Head writers Susanna Fogel[2][3][4][5][6] and Joni Lefkowitz[7] appear to be taking Cutler's story in a somewhat different direction. Cutler's blog detailed her sexual conquests (bareback) in D.C., which got her fired after her name was made public and sued for invasion of privacy by one of her supposed former lovers. The show, per the HR, will center on the aforementioned "three smart, sophisticated 28-year-old girls working on the Hill."
