Overview
- Multiple outlets report that a project titled Toxic Moms landed at Netflix for development on Thursday, July 2, 2026, with Ashley Tisdale expected to star and executive-produce.
- Sabrina Jalees is writing the dark half-hour comedy about a sleep-deprived new mother drawn into an exclusive clique, and Ali Wong is attached as an executive producer and may direct if it becomes a series.
- Tisdale publicly acknowledged the news on Instagram, reposting Deadline’s report and writing, “I guess we all can be a little toxic.”
- Reports differ on the project’s format and provenance: some outlets call it a half-hour series while others describe it as a standalone film, and Netflix and representatives have not confirmed whether the project predated or was inspired by Tisdale’s January essay.
- The project builds on Tisdale’s January Cut essay about feeling frozen out of a mom group, a piece that prompted online sleuthing and public responses from figures linked by audiences, and the Netflix move could extend that public conversation while joining the streamer’s slate of female-led comedies.
