FIVE CAST MEMBERS INVOLVED IN MONACO REMOTE

As to what viewers will eventually see when the remote scenes air on the CBS daytime drama series, Bell shared, “Well, it’s a secret story, but I can tell you that it involves Steffy, Sheila, all these actors here, Ridge, Brooke. and Finn, and there’s something that changes their lives forever that happens. I can’t reveal, it, but it’s going to be good.”

Brad added that B&B will be shooting on the beach in the morning and at a church in the afternoon. He also teased in the story, “It’s happy, and then something amazing happens.” Is a couple getting remarried in the church? Is someone returning to the show?

News out of Monaco and the 65th annual Monte-Carlo Television Festival. The Bold and the Beautiful’s Brad Bell (executive producer and head writer) and his son, Oliver Bell, who have formed the microdrama company, Red Flair Entertainment, revealed on Sunday that they are already gearing up for season two of their just announced first foray into verticals, Hollywood Starlet.

As previously reported, the first season will be filmed at Sunset Las Palmas Studios in Hollywood where the CBS soap opera has called home since late summer of 2025,  and will star microdrama favorites, Eric Guilmette, Molly Anderson, and Bella Mraz.  Most of the talent is expect to be back for season 2.

Hollywood Startlet will bow in mid-August on aTwist, the new microdrama studio and platform founded by former studio execs: Jana Winograde, Susan Rovner and Lloyd Braun. According to Deadline, season 1 will be comprised of 44 episodes of 90-to-120 seconds apiece.

‘HOLLYWOOD STARLET’ WILL TELL STORY OF POWERFUL WOMEN AND FAMILY STORIES

While at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival, the Bells spoke on their new venture, with Oliver making it clear that what they didn’t like about the current state of most verticals are that they often tells stories which demean women, which harkens back to to China, were the microdrama was born.

Oliver explained, “I was watching ReelShort and a lot of these Chinese dramas, which I thought were very captivating. But then you’d see some parts that were degrading to women. For me, that was a little offensive. I thought we could do an American one where we have powerful women and lovely family stories. I felt like that wasn’t being seen.”

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL IN MONTE CARLO

While viewer should not expect any crossovers at this time with The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful, Brad and Olive plan are to have their vertical series capture the spirit of those shows, in turn, swerving some less savory elements in the microdrama genre.

In addition, it was revealed as expected that stars of The Bold and the Beautiful who are making a public appearance at the festival: Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), Thorsten Kaye (Ridge), Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), Tanner Novlan (Finn) and Kimberlin Brown (Sheila) are also in town for a remote shoot that will air most likely later this summer on the CBS soap opera.

So, looks like Brad and Oliver Bell have put a fast track on Hollywood Startlet seasons 1 and 2, and another B&B remote is on the way. Intrigued by the microdrama?
