The universe might be a total mess right now but at least it got one thing right. Rachel Sennott, comedy queen and the hottest 29-year-old we know, has a series en route to HBO. And, it's not only wrapped filming, but it officially has a name (I Love LA), a release date, and a trailer. Could this be Gen Z's long-awaited answer to Girls? All the details we know so far, below.

Who's in the cast?
The cast is essentially the stuff of dreams. Odessa A’zion, Jordan Firstman, Miles Robbins, True Whitaker, and Josh Hutcherson all star alongside Sennott.
We know they're basically best friends on and off camera, with A'zion sharing a series of sweet snaps of the actors to Instagram, along with the caption: "We all love each other so much and we’re so excited for you to see the show we almost couldn’t finish making cause we were all laughing way too hard @hbo we never wanted it to end!!"

Guest stars include Leighton Meester, Quenlin Blackwell, Elijah Wood, and Josh Brener.
Sennott wrote an executive produced the series, while Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers) is on board to executive produce and direct the pilot.
What is I Love LA about?
The project has been billed as this generation's answer to Lena Dunham's Girls or Issa Rae's Insecure. I don't know about you, but this is exactly the kind of viewing I'm here (on this earth) for.
According to Deadline, the half-hour pilot episode will set up to explore "a codependent friend group" as they reunite and navigate how "the time apart, ambition, and new relationships have changed them".

What else has Rachel Sennott worked on?
Those who haven't seen Shiva Baby or Bottoms may know Sennott from her role in A24 horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies or for her entertaining role as Leia in Abel Tesfaye and Sam Levinson's HBO series The Idol. What's clear to all of us watching is that the Irish-Italian-American actress immediately adds value to every project she's involved with.
The actress assisted Emma Seligman in writing the screenplay for Bottoms and had a career in New York City's comedy circuit before she tried her hand at acting. We are chomping at the bit to see where this new opportunity leads.
