Dash and Lily are headed to the small screen.

Netflix have ordered a holiday rom-com series based on the YA novels, Dash & Lily's Book of Dares.  Written by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, the series will feature eight 30-minute episodes. Production has already begun in New York, according to TV Line.  The series is described as a whirlwind holiday romance, with the cynical Dash and the optimistic Lily trading dreams, dares and desires in a notebook they pass back-and-forth. But soon, the pair begin to find that they may have more in common with each other than they first thought.

Euphoria's Austin Abrams stars as Dash, described as a "smart and cynical teenager whose maturity, wisdom and sophistication are advanced for his age." And while he's not really into the "forced merriment of the holidays," he can be pretty charming. Midori Francis, who previously starred in The Birch, is Lily - a smart, hopeful teenager with "a stubborn optimism and youthful energy." The Christmas season is her favourite time of year, "and this holiday season, Lily is looking for love.” Dante Brown, Troy Iwata also star in the series; while James Saito, Keana Marie and Jodi Long are all recurring in the series. Shawn Levy and Nick Jonas are set to executive produce.
