Elizabeth Olsen to star in a show on Facebook
Facebook’s video streaming platform, Watch, hasn’t made as much of an impact as its more-established competitors like Hulu or even YouTube Red, but it seems to be trying to change that by picking up new TV-style projects with fairly big names attached. In October, it announced Kerry Washington’s Chicago-set drama Five Points, and earlier this year it ordered a coming-of-age fairy tale show from big-time movie production studio Blumhouse about a girl with no hands. Now, The Hollywood Reporter says that Facebook Watch has given a straight-to-series order to an untitled “female-driven dramedy” starring Elizabeth Olsen.
