Netflix has given a straight-to-series order to a show based on Miranda Sings, the popular character created by YouTube star Colleen Ballinger-Evans. Ballinger-Evans will star in the upcoming streaming show, titled “Haters Back Off.”

“Haters Back Off” delves into the oddball family life of Miranda Sings, an incredibly confident, totally untalented star on the rise who continues to fail upward by the power of her belief that she was born famous — it’s just no one knows it yet.

The show has landed an eight-episode order.

Not sure who's familiar with her but, I am actually really excited for this!

Cool, should be fun. I used to be subscribed to her, plus Colleen, but I just had too many subs so I dropped some. But now and then I'll check up on her and the rest of the Ballingers.

FULL article/interview with Miranda and Colleen, for Variety Magazine

Quote:

“We believe in our gut, Miranda, as popular as she is, will help us make noise,” says Brian Wright, Netflix’s director of original series for family and young adult programming. “This isn’t just taking her short-form [content] and stretching it into 22 minutes. It’s a bizarre family comedy, and a commentary on society today and our fascination with fame.”

Netflix’s goal with “Haters Back Off” is to hit a four-quadrant audience, with a show that can be viewed by the entire family. The company analyzed lineups of premium TV networks and found that 80% of programming is rated TV-MA. “There’s not a ton of really great scripted television that’s made for a broader audience,” Wright says.

Of course, it’s fair to question how many grown-ups will be eager to watch a show with such a neurotic, infantile anchor character, one who’s rooted in physical humor and goofy facial expressions. Ballinger concedes that in the process of shopping around “Haters,” some execs simply didn’t get it. “Netflix just really understood it and was passionate about it. That’s what I was looking for,” she says. “I didn’t want to just make the show and get it out there.”

Miranda Sings has been compared to Gilda Radner’s Roseanne Roseannadanna, Jon Heder’s Napoleon Dynamite, and Paul Reubens’ Pee-wee Herman. Ballinger says her sources of comedic inspiration include Carol Burnett, Andy Kaufman, and Monty Python.

Miranda Sings series Haters Back Off sets Netflix premiere date — exclusive

Quote:

Haters, you now have a scheduled time to back off.

Netflix’s new original series starring YouTube star Colleen Ballinger — better known as the dame of tone-deaf, Miranda Sings — has set its premiere date. EW has learned& Haters Back Off will debut its eight-episode first season on Oct. 14, launching globally on Netflix. (Ballinger also announced the date during her appearance at VidCon.)

The half-hour single-cam comedy series follows Miranda and her odd family, including her Uncle Jim (Steve Little), an awkward and occasionally inappropriate champion of his niece and her unending efforts at reaching fame; her mother, Bethany (The Office’s Angela Kinsey), whose doting behavior may explain how Miranda turned out the way she did; and Patrick (Erik Stocklin), Miranda’s neighbor and best friend.

I am super excited, wish we got a video preview or something, but we still have 4 more months to go.

Miranda Sings's Netflix Show Has Brand-New Photos
Haters, you know what to do.

Quote:

Miranda Sings has been around for nearly a decade, nearly as long as YouTube itself. The character has millions of followers across her social media platforms, performs all over the world, and has won her creator — alter ego? better half? all of the above? — Colleen Ballinger a Teen Choice Award in 2015, so it was only a matter of time until her YouTube vlogs turned into a full-blown TV show. That time is now... well, October 14 of this year, to be exact, when Haters Back Off will premiere on Netflix.

The show, which chronicles the everyday antics of Miranda and her family, takes its title from its heroine's classic catchphrase (and, TBH, a great motto you can use against your own haters). And while the news was announced back in January, nobody has gotten to see what a full series of Miranda Sings will look like.

That's where we come in: Teen Vogue is premiering an exclusive look at the show, which Colleen told us is "completely different from the content I already have on Youtube, and I'm excited to share it with old and new viewers." Miranda has always known she was born famous but this is going to take her to a whole new level of stardom.

Loving the vibe, and look so far! I feel like Miranda translates really well to a TV show style. About a month to go, 43 days to be exact!

Teaser released! I guess a full Trailer is coming VERY soon...

Haters Back Off | Trailer:

Quote:

You don't become famous without attracting a few haters. Go inside the world of Miranda Sings in Haters Back Off. All episodes on Netflix October 14.

Based on the character created by Colleen Ballinger, Haters Back Off delves into the oddball family life of Miranda Sings. Sings, an incredibly confident, totally untalented star on the rise, continues to fail upward by the power of her belief that she was born famous, it's just no one knows it yet. The series stars Colleen Ballinger as Miranda Sings, Steve Little (Eastbound & Down) as Miranda's overly confident and utterly misguided Uncle Jim, Angela Kinsey (The Office) as Miranda's mom, Bethany, and Erik Stocklin, as Miranda's neighbor and best friend, Patrick.

Well the season is out now! I enjoyed it, wondering what you guys thought?

HDDCS · 10-19-2016, 03:34 PM

Super enjoyable, but far too stretched at points, specifically the characters of her mom and her uncle. Wouldn't mind watching more, though.
