Nia Vardalos developing a dramedy series inspired by the Chewbacca Mom
According to Deadline, Nia Vardalos is set to star in a new dramedy series for Bravo that’s loosely based on her own life experiences—and, apparently, the time she met the Chewbacca Mom while doing a morning show. Given the working title Suburbs Famous, the show is about a woman who accidentally becomes famous thanks to a viral video, at which point she is quickly tossed into “the cutthroat world of celebrity chefs” and must “navigate between the intense public scrutiny which could destroy her and the investors who want to make her a star.”
