Netflix is producing a new drama inspired by Hillary Clinton's failed 2016 run for US president.
The series will be based on a chapter of Chasing Hillary, a memoir by Amy Chozick who covered the election as a reporter for the New York Times.
Entitled Girls on the Bus, it will follow four female journalists trailing fictional presidential candidates.
"This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me," Ms Chozick said.
Netflix won the rights to the journalist's book after a fierce bidding war. The company said it would "follow the every move of a parade of flawed presidential candidates, finding friendship, love, and a scandal that could take down not just the presidency but our entire democracy along the way".
Chasing Hillary was described by New York Magazine as "a kind of Bridget Jones's Diary meets What it Takes, coming-of-age rom-com set on the campaign trail".
Along with Julie Plec, the executive producer behind The Vampire Diaries, Ms Chozick will write and act as an executive producer on Girls on the Bus.
The series' name is a reworking of The Boys on the Bus, a 1972 book about the male press pack who covered the 1972 US presidential election.

So what is the name of the series? Here are a few good choices my wife is helping me with these names.
A winch to the White

How about lock her up
How about the finer points of our can decide a study in numbers

I’m done and I feel better can you feel me now?
Apparently subscriber counts aren’t dropping fast enough.
I am sure that their subscribers will be elated when they do. Since I am not a subscriber it does not matter to me.
“The Boys On The Bus” is actually a fine book, focused on the ‘pack journalism’ surrounding the ‘72 Presidential campaign.
If the show was exclusively about all the Bribes she took from Foreign Governments and Foreign Actors while selling ou the USA, they might have a winner, and it could be a mini series with at least 24 episodes,...
Side of Beef on the Bus
Lol...
It has already been done. It was called “Dude, Where’s My Car?”
To be titled “Shake, Rattle, and Roll”
I cancelled my Netflix account several weeks ago.
Will the Obamas narrate or host this?
Sure sounds like Hillary's run. lol
LOL!
This is Obamas searing into the public’s consciousness that Mrs. Clinton is a Two-Time Loser. I’m okay with it.
It will be called “How to blow an election you had a good chance to win by insulting half the voters you needed and arrogantly taking the rest for granted.
“Falling Down Drunk”
Dumb title, but “The Biggest Loser” and “Lost” were already taken.
The Down and Out Disaster ? DAMN YOU STAIRS ? My Turn ?
Netflix stock has dropped 25% since July this year. It’s not coming back.
This just reinforces my decision to drop Netflix a month back.
