Crystal Moselle’s Skate Kitchen sparked a lot of buzz at festivals and wherever it played as an emotionally resonant drama following the lives of an all female skateboard crew. 

Now, Moselle has teamed up with co-creator of Love (Netflix), Lesley Arfin to adapt Skate Kitchen into an HBO comedy called Betty (just having received a series order). It’s another very, very intriguing move by HBO whose direction in comedy (i.e. Los Espookys, Black Lady Sketch Show, My Favorite Shapes, Ramy Youssef’s Feelings), across the board, has gotten way more adventurous, which we’re very glad to see.
