Freeform’s new dramatic series The Bold Type will kick off with a special two-hour premiere on Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at 9pm ET/PT. The Bold Type is inspired by the life of Joanna Coles, Chief Content Officer of Hearst Magazines, with Coles involved as an executive producer. Sarah Watson, David Bernad, and Ruben Fleischer are also on board as executive producers. The cast includes Katie Stevens, Aisha Dee, Meghann Fahy, Sam Page, Matt Ward, and Melora Hardin as Jacqueline, editor in chief of Scarlet Magazine.
The Plot of Episode One: In the series premiere of The Bold Type titled “Pilot,” newly promoted writer Jane is unsettled when Jacqueline assigns her a big story – writing about why her ex broke up with her. Kat chases a story about outspoken photographer Adena, but is confused by her strong connection to the woman. Meanwhile, Sutton tries not to feel left behind by her best friends as she still toils in the assistant ranks. But she shocks them when they uncover a major secret Sutton has been keeping – her scandalous affair with lusted-after Scarlet magazine lawyer Richard.
In the second hour, “O Hell No,” Kat finds herself questioning her identity as she continues to spend time with Adena. Jane is horrified when she is tasked with writing Scarlet’s sex column – especially when her story turns intensely personal. And Sutton is given an opportunity to advance at Scarlet, but questions if it’s what she really wants to be doing with her life.
