Angela Kinsey (The Office, Your Family or Mine?, New Girl) and Steve Little (The Grinder, East Bound and Down) and Erik Stocklin (Stalker, Mistresses) have been cast in Netflix’s new original comedy series Haters Back Off.
Based on the character created by Colleen Ballinger-Evans, Ha
ters Back Off delves into the oddball family life of Miranda Sings, an incredibly confident, totally untalented star on the rise who continues to fail upward by the power of her belief that she was born famous, it’s just no one knows it yet.
Kinsey will play Bethany, the mom of Miranda Sings. Miranda has referred to her mom for years on her YouTube channel, but she’s never been seen. The way Bethany dotes on her daughter helps explain Miranda’s peculiar behavior.
Little will play Miranda’s Uncle Jim. For years, Miranda’s references to her Uncle on YouTube have suggested they have a unique relationship. Her online fans have been anxiously awaiting the reveal of her overly confident, utterly misguided Uncle.
Haters Back Off has been picked up for 8 episodes, and will be produced by Brightlight Pictures Inc. for Netflix. It is being developed for TV by Colleen Ballinger-Evans & Chris Ballinger and Perry Rein & Gigi McCreery. Executive Producers include Jeff Kwatinetz and Josh Barry of The Firm, Colleen Ballinger-Evans, Christopher Ballinger, Perry Rein and Gigi McCreery. And the showrunners are Perry Rein and Gigi McCreery.
