Jill Soloway has received plenty of praise—[and a Golden Globe](http://time.com/3663170/golden-globes-2015-transparent-jill-soloway-leelah-alcorn/ "undefined")—for _Transparent_, but at MTV she’ll be shining the spotlight on writers Lyle Friedman and Ashley Skidmore, according to _The Hollywood Reporter_. The show will follow two grown women trying to save womankind 10 years after meeting at camp, where they bonded over second-wave feminism and were struck by lightning. _Upright Citizens Brigade_ alumni Friedman and Skidmore, who will executive produce, are staff writers on the TV Land comedy _Younger_, and the creators of the web series #hotmessmoves. Though Soloway is also an executive producer, she described her role as a “godmother” in a statement. “Lyle and Ashley have a magical ability to tap into the female psyche, and through their own special brand of truth and humor they absolve us of our most humiliating moments,” she said. \[[_THR_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/transparent-creator-developing-feminism-comedy-769457 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3693188/jill-soloway-mtv-feminism/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3693188/jill-soloway-mtv-feminism/"},"headline":"Transparent Creator Jill Soloway Developing Feminism-Themed MTV Comedy","datePublished":"2015-02-03T00:49:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:05:24.199Z","description":"In collaboration with the creators of the web series #hotmessmoves","url":"https://time.com/3693188/jill-soloway-mtv-feminism/","keywords":["feminism","Television","Amazon","MTV","transparent"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd52f162d4e178992/69877d4b8e0601ee3d45a17b/jill-soloway.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd52f162d4e178992/69877d4b8e0601ee3d45a17b/jill-soloway.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The IMDb & Amazon Instant Video Studio At The Village At The Lift - Day 4 - 2015 Park City","caption":"The IMDb & Amazon Instant Video Studio At The Village At The Lift - Day 4 - 2015 Park City","creditText":"Jerod Harris—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3693188/jill-soloway-mtv-feminism/","name":"Transparent Creator Jill Soloway Developing Feminism-Themed MTV Comedy"}}]}] ```
