EXCLUSIVE: HBO Max has opted not to proceed with Vegas High, its coming-of-age period drama pilot from writer Sarah-Raquel Jimenez, director Gillian Robespierre and Michael Showalter’s Semi-Formal Prods.
The pilot, which starred newcomer Raegan Rozas, Jordana Spiro and Josh Andrés Rivera, was inspired by Jimenez’s own experience. It is a 1990s-set coming-of-age story about Laura (Rozas), a girl who’s caught between two worlds: the fast-paced lifestyle of Las Vegas and her strong Mormon faith and community.
Jimenez and Robespierre executive produced alongside Showalter and Jordana Mollick for Semi-Formal and Michael Lewen.
HBO Max also recently passed on psychological thriller drama pilot Red Bird Lane starring Susan Sarandon while picking up to pilot Julia Child pilot Julia.
