Chloe, Kirsten Prout (“The Lying Game”) and Daryl Hannah have come on board to star in independent film “Offline.” Larry Rattner is producing, with shooting in Los Angeles this month. Mark Quod is directing from a script by Anna Rasmussen.

Prout will play a top student whose life is turned upside down when inappropriate photos surface on her public online profile, jeopardizing her reputation and plans of going to college. Bridges will portray her best friend and Hannah will play her mother.

Bridges will be seen next in “Mantervention” and “Nightlight.”

Happy news!!!!!!! This is amazing! The Carrie Diaries has been renewed by The CW and is returning for its second season! The network is not confirming the sizes of the pickups, but Carrie’s is automatically a 13-episode order as it is a midseason show. Carrie Diaries and Nikita join previously renewed Arrow, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Hart Of Dixie and Beauty And The Beast.

More than other networks’ series, the online performance of CW shows, most of which are serialized, plays an important part in the net’s renewal decisions. Additionally, Nikita ranks as one of the CW’s top series on social media and, because of its brand, has been a strong international seller for producing studio Warner Bros TV. That also is the case with Sex And The City prequel Carrie Diaries, which has had a very strong online play including on Hulu.

JJJ recently sat down with Chloe on set of The Carrie Diaries to get the scoop on their characters and what we can expect in coming episodes!

JustJaredJr.com: What’s it like playing the “mean girl”?

Chloe Bridges: I think it’s fun, but I always think the characters who cause trouble are the most fun. Because you get to do all the exciting stuff and cause all the drama.

JJJ: What are some similarities and differences between you and your character?

CB: She likes pink more than I do. When I look at the similarities, the only thing I can come up with is confidence. I think we’re both pretty confident. But other than that, I like to think that I’m not very much like her when she’s being mean. My high school experience was more like Glee. I was in show choir. I don’t think anyone knew who I was outside of the 60 people in that program. I definitely wasn’t popular.

JJJ: What’s it like working with stylist Eric Daman?

CB: I was probably his biggest fan before I got here out of everybody. I was most excited to go to my wardrobe fitting. I was one of those people in high school who watched Gossip Girl to see what they were wearing. I was really excited.

THE CW ANNOUNCES “THE CARRIE DIARIES” SERIES PREMIERE ON MONDAY, JANUARY 14 (8:00-9:00 PM ET)

November 8, 2012 (Burbank, CA) – The CW today announced that the new 1980s-era drama, THE CARRIE DIARIES, will have its series premiere on Monday, January 14 (8:00-9:00p.m. ET). That same night, 90210 will slide to its new 9:00-10:00 p.m. timeslot on Monday. The week of January 14 will also see the majority of The CW’s primetime series return from the holiday break with all-new original episodes.

THE CARRIE DIARIES takes place in 1984, where life is not easy for 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw. Since their mother passed away, Carrie’s younger sister Dorritt is more rebellious than ever, and their father Tom is overwhelmed with the responsibility of suddenly having to care for two teenage girls on his own. Carrie’s friends – sweet, geeky Mouse, sarcastic and self-assured Maggie and sensitive Walt – make life bearable, but a suburban life in Connecticut isn’t doing much to take her mind off her troubles. And even though the arrival of a sexy new transfer student named Sebastian brings some excitement to Carrie’s world, she is struggling to move on from her grief. So when Tom offers Carrie the chance to intern at a law firm in Manhattan, she leaps at the chance. Carrie’s eyes are opened wide at the glamour and grit of New York City – and when she meets Larissa, the style editor for Interview magazine, she’s inspired by the club culture and unique individuals that make up Larissa’s world. Carrie’s friends and family may have a big place in her heart, but she’s fallen in love for the first time with the most important man in her life – Manhattan.

The series stars AnnaSophia Robb (“Soul Surfer”) as Carrie Bradshaw; Stefania Owen (“Running Wilde,” “The Lovely Bones”) as Dorrit Bradshaw; Ellen Wong (“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” “Combat Hospital”) as Mouse; Katie Findlay (“The Killing,” “SGU Stargate Universe”) as Maggie; Chloe Bridges (“90210″) as Donna; Austin Butler (“Switched at Birth,” “Life Unexpected”) as Sebastian; Brendan Dooling (“An Elf’s Story: The Elf on the Shelf”) as Walt; Freema Agyeman (“Doctor Who,” “Law & Order: UK”) as Larissa and Matt Letscher (“Brothers and Sisters,” “Entourage”) as Tom.

Based on the novels by Candace Bushnell, THE CARRIE DIARIES is from Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, in association with Fake Empire, with executive producers Josh Schwartz (“Hart of Dixie,” “Gossip Girl”), Stephanie Savage (“Hart of Dixie,” “Gossip Girl”), Len Goldstein (“Hart of Dixie”) Amy B. Harris (“Gossip Girl”) and Candace Bushnell.

The CW has made five new drama series pickups, with all early standouts making the cut. That includes the Sex And The City prequel The Carrie Diaries, the Green Arrow-themed Arrow, the contemporary reboot of the 1980s series Beauty and the Beast, mystery Cult and medical drama First Cut starring Mamie Gummer. Picking up five new scripted series is a record for the CW which, under new topper Mark Pedowitz, has vowed to increase the amount of originals on the air at any time, avoiding long spells of repeats. There had been speculation that the CW would pick up as many as 5-6 of its eight pilots to series. The sixth drama pilot that had been in serious contention but did not get a nod today was the book adaptation The Selection whose chances were boosted by its similarities to the blockbuster Hunger Games movie franchise. Were those similarities too close for comfort?

Based on the novels “The Carrie Diaries” and “Summer and the City” by Candace Bushnell, The Carrie Diaries was written by Amy B. Harris who is exec producing with Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, Len Goldstein and Candace Bushnell. Miguel Arteta directed the pilot. First Cut is executive produced by Jennie Snyder Urman, Dan Jinks and Bharat Nalluri who directed the pilot. Cult was written by Rockne S. O’Bannon who is exec producing with Schwartz, Savage, Goldstein and Jason Ensler who directed the pilot.

We’re sooo happy for Chloe, can’t wait to see the show this fall!!!!

Chloe Bridges has been added to the CW pilot Carrie Diaries. The project, based on Candace Bushnell’s novel, chronicles Carrie Bradshaw’s (AnnaSophia Robb) coming of age in the 1980s when she asks her first questions about love, sex, friendship and family while exploring the worlds of high school and Manhattan.

Chloe will play Carrie’s nemesis Donna Ladonna, the popular girl who is confident and savvy with more there than meets the eye

Congrats Chloe! Sounds amazing! Can’t wait!
