MTV GREENLIGHTS "LADYLIKE," FROM THE CREATORS OF "GIRL CODE;" ORDERS THREE NEW SCRIPTED COMEDY PILOTS INCLUDING "UNTITLED KAPLAN/ELFONT PILOT," "LITTLE DARLINGS" AND VEHICLE FOR COMEDIENNE NICOLE BYER

Santa Monica, CA (September 8, 2015) - MTV today announced moves to beef up its lineup of female-driven comedies, greenlighting new series "Ladylike" from the creators of the network's "Girl Code," and ordering pilots for three scripted comedies, including "Untitled Kaplan/Elfont Pilot," "Little Darlings," and a yet-untitled vehicle for comedienne Nicole Byer of "Girl Code."

"We are excited to be in business with some of the smartest and funniest voices out there and can't wait to see these projects come to life," said Mina Lefevre, Executive Vice President and Head of Scripted for MTV. "These unique and provocative comedies are the perfect way for us to expand our existing slate."

"'Girl Code' is all about smart and funny women who aren't afraid to talk about anything, and 'Ladylike' takes that sensibility to the streets to raise hell and challenge a few gender norms along the way," said Lauren Dolgen, Head of Reality Programming and Executive Vice President of Series Development.

Descriptions for "Ladylike" and the three pilot orders are as follows:

"Ladylike"- "Girl Code" alums Nicole Byer, Jade Catta-Preta, and Matteo Lane and comedian Blair Socci take to the streets in this hilarious half-hour hidden camera prank show as they redefine what it means to be "Ladylike". With attitude and irreverence our cast will challenge social norms and unleash uncompromising and ridiculous situations on the unsuspecting public. "Ladylike" is Executive Produced by Ryan Ling (Bird Brain Productions).

"Untitled Nicole Byer Project" - Nicole Byer portrays a young adult who is forced to move in with her sister and four kids in the suburbs after causing a fire in her New York City apartment. Aunt Nicole will offer her own brand of advice to her sister's kids while trying to get her life back on track. Executive Producers include Christian Lander, Avi Gilbert with 3 Arts Entertainment and Nicole Byer will be a consulting producer.

"Untitled Kaplan/Elfont Pilot" - From writing team and executive producers Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (Leap Year, Can't Hardly Wait). Paige and Jordan may be weed dealers, but in their eyes they are entrepreneurs. Their dope delivery app is quickly gaining popularity with foodies, celebrities and - the most particular and crucial consumer - hipsters. This pilot takes a hilarious look at two girls living in LA: desperate to succeed, find a little romance, and keep their clients happy and high - all with the least amount of effort possible. From Entertainment 360 (Game of Thrones).

"Little Darlings" - Created by 27-year old Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, "Little Darlings" is a dark half-hour comedy about two very unlikely friends taking justice into their own hands and kicking literal ass on their college campus. Jules comes off as the perfect sorority dream girl, but little do her red-cup-toting sisters know, she's got a completely different agenda come nightfall. Ophelia, your everyday stoner-hacker-hellion, has officially run out of effs to give, and when she discovers Jules may be the masked vigilante exacting justice on campus her interest in college life is re-energized. Stacey Sher will serve as executive producer and Robinson will co-executive-produce and wrote the pilot.
