Riley Keough will play a law student turned high-class hooker in Starz’ upcoming “The Girlfriend Experience”, the 13-part anthology TV series inspired by Steven Soderbergh’s 2009 film.
Just like the film, “The Girlfriend Experience” looks at the relationships between exclusive courtesans and their clients, for whom they provide a service that includes more than just sex.
Keough will star as Christine Reade, a law student at the University of Chicago and an intern at a prestigious law firm, who is intrigued when a friend introduces her to the world of transactional relationships. Attracted to the rush of control and easy money, Christine has to confront her own conflicting identities. She learns to navigate and manipulate the big personalities in both worlds to get what she wants, in the process becoming a quasi-lover and confidant to men who are willing to pay richly for her time, offering a service known as a GFE (Girlfriend Experience).
Independent filmmakers Lodge Kerrigan and Amy Seimetz will write and direct with Soderbergh exec producing with Philip Fleishman.
