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.
Are you excited to finally have an estimated time of departure for The Girls on the Bus? Hit the comments!

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.

Interesting shirt Mel is wearing. Color scheme notwithstanding, but the message on it I think may have been used as a campaign slogan by Supergirl season 1 station in NYC WCBS-TV Channel 2 for their news in 1978-1981. Apparently, CBS2/CBS New York used the term Newsbreakers to describe those who were subjects of their stories or those who called them in to the station.
In fact, here's one of their ads from 1980 featuring the late reporter Chris Borgen.
And this from 1979 which introduces you to just SOME of the Newsbreakers...including a certain Mrs."25 Words or Less."
And this 1981 promo just to drive the point home.
And here in the clear, is the theme song WCBS-TV used. As to who conducted it, it's unknown.
CBS2 had greats at the anchor desk like Rolland Smith, Jim Jensen, Carol Martin and the late Michele Marsh. I grew up with them, as well as the other news teams in NYC.
Sadly, many of these names are dead or retired, except for weatherman Irv Gikofsky, a/k/a Mr. G. He does the weather on the station that aired Supergirl during its remaining 5 seasons, WPIX 11.
Whether Melissa knows it or not, that what I would think vintage, maybe lost t-shirt has a bit of NYC's TV history.

[Rant]Makes me wish as a conservative there was a vomit icon here. Morning Joe is the MOST LEFTIST DRIVEL out there in terms of morning "news" shows. Fox News and Newsmax, well they wouldn't be any better b/c some fans of SG hate conservatives. [/rant]
