On Wednesday, HBO Max announced the greenlight for a live-action two-part special event under the working title, “B-Loved,” from director Emily Ting (“Tall Girl 2”) and starring Peyton List (“Cobra Kai”).
List stars as Bea, a free-spirited teenage ghost who forms a special friendship with the new boy in town, Cole, whose house she has been inhabiting for over 100 years. With the help of a magical ring that allows Cole to see Bea, they’ll rediscover the meaning of being alive and the importance of letting go. The ghostly romance written by Black List Nicholl Fellowship winner, Cesar Vitale, is scheduled to premiere in time for Valentine’s Day 2023 on HBO Max.
“I’ve played a lot of amazing characters and really grown with them over the years,” said Peyton List. “I’m looking forward to adding clever ghost girl from the 1920s. Even though she is from a different century, I think the feeling of having your first crush transcends time, and I hope the story of Cole and Bea resonates today.”
In “B-Loved,” Bea is an adventurous, funny, curious teenager who also happens to be a host from the 1920s trapped in the present day. Though she might sometimes get into precarious situations, she loves to explore unknown places. Bea gives her heart passionately to the things she loves, and with the help of her new friend Cole, she starts to experience the world again.
“B-Loved” is executive produced by Mark Burton and Aaron Parry, Tracy K. Price, William Andrew, Ryan Malachowsky, and Jill Sanford.
