Before you begin thinking that this is a satirical spoof on the HBO hit Girls, do you really think that HBO would be that dumb? Still though, I feel like a certain percentage of readers actually needed that clarification. We’re talking about a web series, one that’s been a huge hit for fans that have watched it. The web series Brown Girls, written by Fatimah Asghar and directed by Samantha Bailey, was released in February to a wildly enthusiastic reception. Now their story is jumping to cable. Elle reports that Asghar and Bailey have signed a development deal with HBO to

Brujos webseries
I’ve talked up Open TV in this space before, but I can’t help that its programming has been great and so relevant to my interests. Samantha Bailey’s You’re So Talented offered a previously unseen Chicago, and she followed that up with Brown Girls, which has become one of my favorite series about female friendships. Then I heard about Brujos, which is a new webseries about queer Latinx witches who are basically fighting white supremacy. Um, sí! please. Its undeniable queerness and brownness will serve as a high bar for entry for some, but for others—namely, queer and brown folks—it will feel like a Buffy The Vampire Slayer that was made for them. Creator-writer (and MacArthur fellow) Ricardo Gamboa stars as Panfilo in the series, which offers a bold new portrayal of marginalized, radicalized people on the small screen.
