The Girls on the Bus, Starring Melissa Benoist, Gets Max Release Update
BY VLADA GELMAN
JANUARY 22, 2024
The Girls on the Bus finally have a departure time.
The long-gestating series will premiere on Max this March, TVLine has learned. (A precise release date has not yet been set.)
The comedic drama is inspired by a chapter in Amy Chozick’s 2018 novel Chasing Hillary, which was based on the author’s time covering Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign as a political reporter.
In The Girls on the Bus, Supergirl vet Benoist plays Sadie McCarthy, “a journalist who romanticizes the original ‘Boys on the Bus’ and who scrapped her whole life for her own shot at covering a presidential campaign for the paper of record. Sadie hits the trail and eventually bonds with three female competitors,” per the official logline. “Despite their differences, these women become a found family with a front-row seat to the greatest soap opera in town: the battle for the White House.”
Joining Benoist on the Max series are Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher), Natasha Behnam (Mayans M.C.) and Christina Elmore (Insecure). The series-regular cast also includes Brandon Scott (13 Reasons Why, Dead to Me).
Additionally, Scott Foley (Scandal), Tala Ashe (Legends of Tomorrow) and Griffin Dunne (This Is Us) will all recur. Foley plays a little-known mayor from Kansas who has joined the presidential race, while Ashe portrays an offbeat-yet-accessible progressive who is one of the reporters’ clear favorites on the campaign trail.
The series was developed by Chozick and Julie Plec, both of whom will executive-produce alongside showrunner Rina Mimoun, as well as Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter for Berlanti Productions.
The Girls on the Bus has taken a rather meandering route to the screen: It was first ordered by Netflix in 2019, before being picked up by The CW after it failed to move forward at the streamer. The show then landed at another streamer when Max (then known as HBO Max) handed it a straight-to-series order in February 2022, five months after the project moved from Netflix to The CW.

I found the bit where in a fantasy Sadie jumped over the counter and beat up the guy at the mailbox store who didn’t want to give her the pills. Melissa’s channeling when Kara beat up Non after he put the black mercy on her. According to this article Melissa did the stunt herself.

“Melissa, being Supergirl, did that stunt when she jumps over the counter and punches the **** out of the guy [who wouldn’t give her the pills],” Chozick recalled about a fun fantasy sequence in the episode. “She [said], ‘I’m ready, I got it.’ And the whole crew was like, “Oh, my god, girl just lunged over the counter!'”

On this week’s The Girls on the Bus, Melissa Benoist‘s Sadie was dealt a big blow when her editor Bruce (played by Griffin Dunne) unexpectedly died. But Bruce was more than just Sadie’s boss. He was also a mentor and friend to her, and Benoist conveyed that in the depth of Sadie’s grief. The actress was brimming with anger and shock and sadness over the loss while talking to an imaginary version of journalist Hunter S. Thompson, proclaiming through sobs, “He protected me, looked out for me, unlike you.” When Sadie could no longer contain her tears, she sent “Thompson” away and broke down on a park bench. Through Benoist’s emotional performance, we could feel the magnitude of Sadie’s heartache in that challenging moment. — Vlada Gelman
Melissa Benoist on Jimmy Kimmel.

Highlights of the interview...Mel's son saying things like Jumping Jehosaphat. Methinks someone in that house loves classic cartoons as some characters said that, perhaps classic TV as well. One of the characters on an old show Car 54 Where Are You from the early 60's said that. Wonder how she'd react if her kid uttered "Great Scott?" (first used by Superman on the radio voiced by Bud Collyer and not Christopher Lloyd in "Back to the Future"
And the something about a haunted chocolate factory. OK MELISSA MARIE BENOIST WOOD, YOU HAVE VENTURED INTO HIGH LEVEL WEIRD.
Then again, she likes ghost stories and UFOs (Holy George Noory and Art Bell!!)

Still enjoying this series very much. In a fantasy sequence Melissa got to use her kicking and punching skills. I’ve also seen her wear the gold stud earrings that she always wore as Kara that must be hers because she wore them on Glee too.
Here’s an interview with Melissa and EP Rina Mimoun about the main and IMO very well done storyline of episode 8.
