Netflix has given a straight-to-series order to a show based on Miranda Sings, the popular character created by YouTube star Colleen Ballinger-Evans, Variety has learned. Ballinger-Evans will star in the upcoming streaming show, titled Haters Back Off.
Haters Back Off delves into the oddball family life of Miranda Sings, an incredibly confident, totally untalented star on the rise who continues to fail upward by the power of her belief that she was born famous — it’s just no one knows it yet.
The show has landed an eight-episode order. No launch date has been set.
The project marks the first-ever scripted streaming series for a YouTube personality. While other venues have greenlit series for digital stars — E!’s late-night talk show The Grace Helbig Show, Hulu’s Freddie Wong docuseries RocketJump — Miranda Sings’ is one of the first shows that does not fall into the unscripted genre. Currently in development, Fox is working on a scripted comedy with Vine star Andrew Bachelor a.k.a. King Bach, while HBO recently greenlit an Issa Rae series.
