HBO Max has greenlit an all-new two-part supernatural romance special that is currently going by the working title B-Loved with Peyton List (Cobra Kai) in the starring role. The two-part event is set to release on HBO Max on Valentine's Day 2023.

B-Loved is written by Black List Nicholl Fellowship winner, Cesar Vitale and will be directed by Emily Ting (Tall Girl 2). The story of the two-part special follows a free-spirited teenage ghost named Bea, played by List. When a boy named Cole moves to town and into the house that Bea has been inhabiting for the last 100 years, the two form a special bond thanks to a magical ring that allows Cole to see Bea. Together, they will discover what it means to be alive again as well as what it means to let go. “I’ve played a lot of amazing characters and really grown with them over the years,” said List. “I’m looking forward to adding clever ghost girl from the 1920s. Even though she is from a different century, I think the feeling of having your first crush transcends time, and I hope the story of Cole and Bea resonates today.”

Amy Friedman, head of Kids & Family Programming at Warner Bros., also provided a statement about the upcoming special, saying, “Peyton List and Emily Ting are the dream duo for this special. They both bring humor, boldness, and humanity to the teenager experience. Partnering with Tamara Rothenberg and Endeavor Content, along with Wonder Worldwide, on this project creates the perfect opportunity for us to speak to and serve a more inclusive girl audience.”
