Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon will headline All Stars, a half-hour comedy series, for Amazon's streamer Prime Video. According to entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter, the project was bagged by the streaming service in a bidding war. It comes from Aline Brosh McKenna, the writer of movies such as The Devil Wears Prada and 27 Dresses. The White Lotus Season 2 Ending Explained: Decoding the Climax to Aubrey Plaza, Theo James’ HBO Drama Series and Exploring Who Died in the Finale!

All Stars follows a former cheerleader from Daytona Beach (Witherspoon) who cons her way across the pond to teach cheerleading at a school in coastal England and has to show a ragtag group of students – and herself – how to be All Stars. The show is loosely inspired by Andrea Kulberg, a former University of Texas cheerleader who now owns a cheer school with her twin sister, Aly, in the UK. Harry & Meghan: One of the Royal Family’s ‘Biggest Problems’ Was the Duchess’ Career Reveals Docu-Series.
