Ah, teenage rebellion. The story never gets old, and I’m guessing MTV is banking on that as they’re set to premiere a new series next week that follows a girl who’s ready to toss away her popular life in an attempt to make her senior year of high school a bit less cliché and a bit more meaningful.
My Life as Liz, which premieres next Monday, is based on the real-life experiences of Liz Lee, a teenager who’s ousted from her group of friends and finds herself bonding with the school “nerds.” MTV states that the series is both genuine and oftentimes humerous as Liz is a quick-witted girl set on a path of self discovery. Below is a video clip from the premiere and further down are descriptions of the other characters in the show.
The cast of My Life As Liz is:Cori Cooper: The ultimate “mean” girl, Cori leads a pack of blonde look-a-likes who love to terrorize Liz with gossip, innuendo, and general nastiness. Cori and Liz were best friends until their freshman year, but when she found out that she was hanging out with some of the school’s “nerds” – she ostracized Liz and banned her from their clique forever.Taylor Terry: Although a popular cheerleader, fitness competitor, and friend to Cori, Taylor actually admires Liz for her individuality and ability to accept herself. Taylor works hard to befriend Liz and gain her trust, which eventually leads to a showdown with Cori.Bryson: After meeting in English class, Liz and Bryson become quick confidantes. Because of Bryson’s good looks, overall charm, and general coolness, Liz immediately starts to pine for something more. The only problem is Bryson’s unwavering loyalty to his girlfriend. Will Bryson ultimately realize that Liz is the one he can’t let get away?Sully: Liz’s nerdy best friend, he’s always available to battle with light sabers, play dice for comic books, or spend the afternoon larping. Along with pals Miles and Troy, these boys help Liz through one predicament after another – providing support, friendship, and much needed comic relief.
My Life as Liz premieres Monday January 18th @ 10:30 PM on MTV.
