Netflix Reveals First Trailer for Ballet School Thriller ‘Tiny Pretty Things’

Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming ballet school series ‘Tiny Pretty Things.’ Created by Michael MacLennan, the mystery-thriller will premiere on Netflix on December, 14.

Season 1 of the series will have 10 episodes with 60 minutes each.

Based on the book by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton, “Tiny Pretty Things” is set in the world of an elite ballet academy and charts the rise and fall of young adults who live far from their homes, each standing on the verge of greatness or ruin. As Chicago’s only elite dance school, the Archer School of Ballet serves as the company school for the city’s renowned professional company: City Works Ballet. The Archer School is an oasis for an array of dancers: rich and poor, from north and south, and a range of backgrounds. Yet they all share a rare talent and passion for dance, a loyal sense of community… and when it comes to their dreams, no Plan B.

Lauren Holly (Designated Survivor, Dumb and Dumber) plays Monique, a former dancer turned The Archer School director. Driven by ambition and a true belief in ASB’s value, Monique holds unique power over the school, using her dark capacities not only to defend her institution but also to bring about the best in her students regardless of her means.

Kylie Jefferson (Davido’s Fall, SchoolboyQ’s Chopstix) plays Neveah, the rebel with raw talent and fierce determination who looks to rise above her roots and find a future in the world of ballet Laurent without losing her unique and fiery approach to dance. Neveah is staring down the greatest opportunity of her life – a chance to be a student of the Archer School of Ballet as a last-minute replacement.

Jess Salgueiro (The Boys, LETTERKENNY) plays Isabel, a cop with a dancer’s ram-rod discipline from two tours of duty in Afghanistan before she traded in one uniform for another. With her ambition and keen moral compass, she’s uniquely qualified to search for the truth of what happened during a mysterious accident at the Academy.

Brennan Clost (The Next Step, Creeped Out) plays Shane, stacked and fiery, from a small town, he grew up tormented for loving dance and has become a hot-headed scrapper – and his family’s greatest hope.

Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, Jordanna Fraiberg, and Deborah Henderson of Insurrection Media, Gary Fleder and Gabrielle Neimand of Mojo Films, and Carrie Mudd of Peacock Alley are executive producers.

Tiny Pretty Things was developed and produced by Insurrection Media, building upon its strategic relationship with HarperCollins.
