Netflix has given a straight-to-series order to the YA drama “Prep,” adapting Curtis Sittenfeld’s novel of the same name. The series is positioned as a coming-of-age story following scholarship student Lee Fiora during her high school years at Ault, a prestigious New England boarding school, as she navigates friendship, crushes, and class.
Both outlets frame the project as a book adaptation aimed at a young-adult audience, but they differ slightly in emphasis. Variety highlights the official description and the central premise centered on Lee Fiora’s experiences at the boarding school. Deadline focuses more on the production team and development background, noting that Netflix developed the half-hour series internally and that it comes from Nicole Taylor, with additional production involvement referenced through her broader credits. No release date or casting details are included in the provided coverage.
