Cashmere Mafia picked up by ABC
Cashmere Mafia has officially been picked up by ABC. The Sex and the City stylized show follows four women, who are played by Lucy Liu (Ally McBeal, Charlie’s Angels), Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings trilogy), Frances O’Connor (Iron Jawed Angels, Timeline) and Bonnie Somerville (NYPD Blue, Kitchen Confidential).
Their names are Dylan, Juliet, Caitlin and Zoe. But you’ll come to know them as the Cashmere Mafia: four Manhattan women bonded by their Ivy League educations and executive success. A thinking woman’s Sex and the City mixed with the wit of The Devil Wears Prada, this one-hour drama assembles a cast of bright, driven, relatable women who support each other through rocky marriages, rival colleagues, kids’ recitals and the hunt for the perfect loft. Ambition always comes with a price. Consistently outpacing their male colleagues and husbands in salary and title, they also have to watch out for scheming bitches eager to bring them down.
Fortunately, there’s strength in numbers. These successful executives regularly bring their problems to the lunch table and use each other’s strengths and resources to avert disaster, both personally and professionally. With style, smarts and appeal, the Cashmere Mafia is about to bring sexy back to the boardroom, while unexpected heart and humor keep their stories compelling. From producer Darren Star (Sex and the City) and writer Kevin Wade (Working Girl) comes a compelling, intimate and unflinching look at an ensemble of high-powered women whose most valuable assets are their friendship and their willingness to have it all without giving an inch.
Interestingly, the pilot episode will feature one of the female characters falling in love with another woman at work. The character is played by Bonnie Sommerville, but not much more is known about it yet.
