Nick Jonas Has Joined Shawn Levy in Producing YA Netflix Series DASH & LILY

Shawn Levy, executive producer of the mega-hit series Stranger Things, and singer/actor Nick Jonas have come aboard a new YA series for Netflix based on the book series Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. They also wrote Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

Levy and Jonas are coming together to produce the holiday show that has the shortened title of Dash & Lily, which will have a first season made up of eight episodes, each thirty minutes long.

Austin Abrams (Paper Towns, Euphoria) and Midori Francis (Ocean’s 8, Good Boys) star as the title characters, and Variety provides the following description for the series:

In the show, a whirlwind holiday romance builds as cynical Dash and optimistic Lily trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations all across New York City, finding they have more in common with each other than they would have expected.

The series will also star Dante Brown, Troy Iwata, Keana Marie, James Saito and Jodi Long. I think this sounds like a pretty good story, and I’m down to give it a shot. How about you?
