Synopsis[]

Savannah Reed is a 16-year-old girl who has recently moved to California, the state her best friend Brooklyn moved to three years ago for high school. Savannah is excited to reunite with her long-lost BFF, but Brooklyn (now known to her stylish new classmates as Brooke) isn't too keen on reviving the friendship. In fact, Brooke isn't too keen on Savannah as a whole, seeing her as a threat to her popularity and relationship with her longtime boyfriend, Sage. Not one to give up her perfect life so easily, Brooke is prepared to do with Savannah what she does with every "threat": take her down, pronto.

the truth is out, and there's no way Brooke will be able to flirt her way out of this one.

Love in Danger 7th September, 2018 23
It only takes one wrong move to lose everything, and Savannah Reed may have done just that. Intentions aside, the evidence is certainly not in her favour. Will she be able to salvage her reputation?

Production[]

The idea of a Television Show was brought up in October 2015 after Sophiegtv had come to Purry Sunray about it. In November 2015 it was officially announced to the LPS Popular fans, much to their satisfaction. Casting had began almost immediantly.

I kind of already knew who would be good for the roles in LPS Popular. Sophie pretty much agreed with me on the whole but we had to change some suggestions around after they became unsuitable or just weren't avliable for shooting the show.
— Purry Sunray

Cara Delevigne and Bella Throne were the first two actresses to be contacted for their roles, Brooklyn Hayes and Savannah Reed, respectively. Thorne almost turned down the offer due to scheduling issues but managed to accept the offer and start shooting the television show.

We originally thought about getting Coco Jones to play the part as Savannah.
— Sophie Garret

The following few weeks, Maisie Williams, Chloë Grace Moretz, Amy Adams and Elle Fanning where cast to play the roles of Genevieve Ryan, Rachel Rivera, Alicia Hamilton and Angelina Davis. Evan Ross was cast as Nathan Campbell and Nat Wolff as Tom Dawson.

Originally, Nick Robinson was to be cast as Sage Bond, but before production had started on episode one, he backed out and was instead replaced with Taron Egerton. 

Ariel Winters was cast to make the guest appearance of Meghan Collins in the runup to the Season one finale.

Season one production officially started on July 16th 2016 and wrapped up in December 2016.

Popular was renewed for a second season in October 2016 after sucess of production and fan involvment. The cast would be returning alongside new faces for the second season. Taron Egerton is promoted to Main cast for the season and Ariel Winters not listed on the cast list, unknown if she'll make an appearance in the season.
