Jill Soloway, creator of TV series 'Transparent', will team up with MTV to develop a feminism comedy show.
The untitled series centres on two young girls who meet at summer camp and bond over their passion for second-wave feminism, said The Hollywood Reporter.
Ashley Skidmore and Lyle Friedman, who created and star in popular web series 'HotMessMoves' will pen the script and executive produce the show alongside Soloway.
"Lyle and Ashley have a magical ability to tap into the female psyche, and through their own special brand of truth and humor they absolve us of our most humiliating moments.
"I'm so excited to godmother this show and bring Lyle and Ashley's fresh take on lady power to MTV," said Soloway.
MTV said they are excited to join hands with Skidmore, Friedman and Soloway, calling the trio a 'dream team'.
