Maria Bamford goes from Invisible Girl to Lady Dynamite for Netflix
Netflix has ordered 13 episodes of Lady Dynamite, a new comedy starring Maria Bamford. Despite the implication of its title (and Bamford’s past Netflix experience), Lady Dynamite is not part of the streaming service’s deal with Marvel, but rather a half-hour series inspired by the actor-comedian’s life. According to a press release, Lady Dynamite will “tell the story of a woman who loses—and then finds—her s**t,” a self-censored logline that doesn’t entirely rule out the possibility of Bamford losing and then finding the suit that enables her transformation into a troubled metropolis’ TNT-powered savior.
