House Of The Dragon star Emily Carey will be leading the cast as Harriet Manners in an adaptation of Holly Smales’ massive young adult book series, Geek Girl.

Geek Girl tells the story of awkward teenager Harriet Manners, whose life is turned upside down when she is spotted to be a model and embarks on a life-affirming journey of self-discovery as she balances high school and high fashion.

After years of being a geek, the 16-year-old finds her world completely changing after she’s on a school trip to London for Fashion Week.

Tightly wound agents, reclusive designers, impossibly high heels, and a handsome young supermodel with a great smile — socially awkward Harriet has no idea what she’s in for.

The all-star cast also includes Emmanuel Imani (Riches, The Wheel Of Time) as Wilbur Evans, Sarah Parish (Industry, Stay Close) as Jude Paignton, Liam Woodrum (Love In Zion National) as Nick Park, Tim Downie (Outlander, Paddington) as Richard Manners and Zac Looker (A Kind of Spark) as Toby Pilgrim.

Jemima Rooper (Flowers in the Attic: The Origin) as Annabel Manners, Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Foundation, The Wheel of Time) as Yuji Lee, Daisy Jelley (London Kills) as Poppy Hepple-Cartwright and introduces Rochelle Harrington as Natalie Grey completes the key cast.

Holly Smale’s Geek Girl series comprises six novels, two novellas and one World Book Day book, all of which are published by HarperCollins UK and translated into 28 languages. 

Geek Girl premieres on Netflix worldwide and STACKTV in Canada on on May 30th.
