Rachel Anne Sennott is heading to HBO.

The cable network has ordered a series from the 28-year-old actress-writer, who will executive produce the project along with Emma Barrie and Aida Rodgers, Deadline reported Monday.

The outlet described a logline for the project as the coming together of a “group of codependent friends” who discover “how time apart, ambition and new relationships have changed them.”

The project involving Sennott would follow in the vein of previous HBO series aimed at the 1920s demographic, such as Girls (from creator-star Lena Dunham), which aired from 2012 to 2017; and Insecure (from creator-star Issa Rae), which ran from 2016 to 2021.

Sennott, a native of Simsbury, Connecticut, is a graduate of the Tisch School of the Arts.

Rachel Anne Sennott, 28, is headed to HBO, with the cable channel having ordered a series from the actress-writer. Photographed earlier this month at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Los Angeles.

She rose to prominence with her student film Shiva Baby, which focused on a student attending a Jewish funeral service with her parents.

The student film was later adapted into a 2020 feature film in which Sennott starred and produced.

Sennott parlayed the success of these projects into starring in films including 2022’s Susie Searches and 2022’s Bodies Bodies Bodies.

Sennott starred in and co-wrote the 2023 comedy Bottoms, which also starred Ayo Edebiri, Ruby Cruz, Havana Rose Liu, Kaia Gerber, Marshawn Lynch and Dagmara Dominczyk.

Sennott has previously worked with the network on several productions.

She appeared in an episode of Ben Sinclair’s comedy-drama High Maintenance in 2018; and starred as Leia in five episodes of The Weeknd and Sam Levinson’s controversial show The Idol.

She starred as Jackie Raines in the 2021 ABC comedy Call Your Mother, and was also seen in shows such as Bite Size Halloween, Ayo and Rachel Are Single and Making Money.

She has roles in two upcoming films: SNL 1975 and Holland, Michigan.
