Lodge Kerrigan and Amy Seimetz developed, wrote, and directed The Girlfriend Experience, an American anthology drama television series that airs on the premium cable network Starz. Riley Keough plays Christine Reade, a law student intern who also works as a high-end prostitute in the first season. It is based on the 2009 film of the same name and is executive produced by Steven Soderbergh. On April 10, 2016, a 13-episode first season premiered, with all episodes available on Starz On Demand.
What is the Girlfriend Experience Season
The series was greenlit by Starz in June 2014 with a 13-episode order, based on Steven Soderbergh's film The Girlfriend Experience, which he also acts as an executive producer on, while Lodge Kerrigan and Amy Seimetz wrote and directed all 13 episodes and also serve as executive producers. Riley Keough was cast as the female lead in September 2014. The series' musical score was written by Shane Carruth. The majority of the filming took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Louisa Krause, Anna Friel, and Carmen Ejogo were revealed as the three female leads of season 2 in January 2017. In the second season, there are two concurrent plots, both written and directed by Kerrigan and Seimetz. Narges Rashidi joined the cast of the show in March. Despite the fact that the plots do not overlap and Kerrigan and Seimetz worked independently, they did read each other's scripts. “We recognised each other's work, and I think we have mutual respect as filmmakers,” Kerrigan said in an interview with Variety. “So we read each other's scripts and watched each other's episodes, but basically, we just did our own thing.”
Kerrigan and Seimetz announced in September 2017 that they will not be returning for a third season. “Amy and I are going to bounce after season two,” Kerrigan revealed, “which was always the intention to allow new filmmakers to come in.” Starz renewed the series for a 10-episode third season in July 2019, which will be written and directed by Anja Marquardt. On August 20, 2020, filming for the third season began in London, England.
