Netflix has ordered its first-ever pilot, 'Little Sky,' a comedy series starring and produced by Samara Weaving. The pilot has recently wrapped filming ahead of schedule due to the ongoing WGA strike. Here's what we know about this unique project.

Netflix's Groundbreaking Pilot


In a historic move, Netflix has greenlit its first pilot ever, 'Little Sky,' a comedy series created and directed by Rightor Doyle. The decision to order a pilot was made by Netflix executives, who were highly impressed with the concept and sought to ensure the show's tone and ensemble chemistry were just right.


An Innovative Model for Netflix



If 'Little Sky' proves successful, it could pave the way for more pilot-based series on Netflix. This pioneering approach marks a departure from the streaming giant's traditional strategy and could open doors for future projects.

The Intriguing Plot of 'Little Sky'


'Little Sky' follows the ambitious Penelope Paul Porter, an aspiring news reporter who, despite her lack of skills, is determined to prove herself. When she receives an anonymous tip about the disappearance of Little Sky's Mayor, she sees an opportunity to break a big story. Little does she know that her investigation will lead her into a much darker and unexpected world.
