Inside ‘Calabasas’
The series, inspired by Via Belidner’s novel, follows a 16-year-old from the Midwest. She moves to Calabasas, California. There, she faces its glamorous but tough environment.
As the new girl at Calabasas High, she deals with teenage challenges. The setting is like Beverly Hills 90210 and The O.C. It’s also home to celebrities like Justin Bieber and Jennifer Lopez.
This mix of real-world glitz and character struggles is key to the show. Kim, the producer, said, “We’re showing what it’s like to grow up under society’s watchful eyes.”
As the show develops, both the industry and fans are keen to see Kardashian’s impact. Her success in turning projects into hits makes Calabasas a potential Netflix success.
