When Bella Thorne isn’t posting the trendiest Insta’s ever, you’ll most likely find her memorizing lines or in front of the camera. Within the next year alone, the 18-year-old actress has nine projects set to release, and she recently opened up about one of them to Moviefone.
Freeform’s newest series Famous in Love, based on Rebecca Serle’s novel, follows Paige (Thorne), a college student who gets her big break in Hollywood, but finds herself in a love triangle with her two co-stars.
On what piqued her interest: Being able to be producer and getting creative credit. Marlene King [Pretty Little Liars showrunner] and I took this show from a book. We made this show and we ended up selling it together to ABC. Being able to be in the pitch meetings was so cool, because it was completely different for me. That was something that I had no experience in whatsoever. So the creative aspect of acting, everything that goes beyond the screen — I got to learn all about it.
On what stood out about this particular book: Well, when I read the book originally, a long time ago, I thought it was cool that we show Hollywood for what it is. People think it’s so glamorous and perfect, and that everybody is so nice. And it’s not. It’s not that perfect. So it’s cool when you’re able to go behind and you know, show everything to everyone. So I’m glad to get to kind of open up that world.
Famous in Love is set to premiere next year. Â Â
