In Its Third Season, 'The Bold Type' Balances Real Life With A Glass Of Rosé
The comedy series follows three friends working at a women's magazine in New York City. The stars say the show carefully balances providing a space to tackle issues — and a space to escape from them.
If you ask Aisha Dee to describe her show The Bold Type, she says it's like drinking a glass of rosé while reading a Cosmo. It's "real world" but it's also "wish fulfillment," she says.
Dee, Katie Stevens and Meghann Fahy star as Kat, Jane and Sutton — three best friends living in New York and working together at Scarlet magazine, a fictional outlet inspired by Cosmopolitan. The Freeform comedy series begins its third season Tuesday night.
The premise is familiar — HBO's and both followed the friendships of young women living and working in New York. But aims to provide a fresh take, dealing with issues of career advancement, sexuality, race, women's health and the #MeToo movement.
