Turnt is an American teen drama streaming television series created by Rachel Stern that premiered on August 1, 2018 on Facebook Watch.
Turnt follows "an ensemble cast of characters as they navigate high school."[1]
On August 21, 2017, it was announced that digital production company Brat was developing a new series, entitled Turnt, to be written by Rachel Stern and directed by Will Slocombe. Brat was set to collaborate with talent manager Matt Dugan and digital production company One Push Digital Creative on the series. The series was expected to take place in the fictional "Attaway High" universe where several series produced by Brat would be set in the same high school, exist in the same fictional universe, and feature characters that appear across multiple series.[2] [3] On July 20, 2018, it was reported that Brat had sold the series to Facebook, making Turnt one of a small handful of series that Brat was producing in order to sell to other platforms.[4] A week later, it was announced that the series would premiere on August 1, 2018 with the release of the first four episodes. The series is expected to release three episodes per week for every week thereafter.[1] [5]
Alongside the initial series announcement, it was confirmed that Madeleine Byrne, Cristian Oliveras, Elsie Hewitt, and Nate Wyatt would star in the series.[2]
Principal photography for the series took place in Pasadena, California at a nearby high school which was also used for filming of the other "Attaway High" series.[2]
