Amber Dowling Cineflix Productions has confirmed it is in development with comedian Bonnie McFarlane on a scripted comedy series based on her 2016 memoir, “You’re Better Than Me.” The project is inspired by McFarlane’s time as a high schooler in Cold Lake, Alberta, in the mid-1980s.

McFarlane serves as the creator and writer for the half-hour series, which takes place on a farm “294 kilometres outside the nearest pizza delivery zone.” There, a 16-year-old Bonnie flexes her smart mouth, hangs out with her BFF bovine, and recognizes that she’s not the easiest person to get along with. “Neither she nor her cow are part of the ‘in’ crowd,” reads a show description. “Bonnie is desperate to escape her farm and see the world.

There’s just one thing stopping her: herself…And a bunch of other stuff.” McFarlane, whose credits include radio and television gigs, has an HBO special, two Comedy Central specials, and multiple appearances on late night TV on her resume.

She also directed the award-winning documentary “Women Aren’t Funny” and co-hosts a national radio show on Sirius XM with her husband, U.S.
