Help Bring The Grace Girls to Life

Every great series starts with a story. Help us build ours.

The Grace Girls is a faith-forward dramedy about five longtime friends navigating faith, friendship, relationships, and real life.

We're raising $50,000 to support the writing, development, and startup of our first season.

From our eight-person writers' room to the legal foundation, branding, and production planning, every contribution helps us take another step toward our planned July 24, 2027 premiere.

Our development timeline

The clock is running

Oct 31, 2026
Fundraising deadline
Nov 1, 2026
Writing begins
Jan 15, 2027
Script completion target

Our goal is to secure development funding by October 31, 2026, so our writing team can begin work on November 1.

Over the following weeks, our eight-person writers' room will collaboratively develop the stories, characters, and scripts for Season One, with a script completion target of January 15, 2027. Scripts will grow out of the season's 13 episode stories, and how many are finished and ready for production by that date will depend on funding and the room's progress.

January 15 is our script completion target, not the deadline for completing every development phase. Branding, business operations, and production preparation will move forward on their own schedules.
