The cable network has handed out a straight-to-series order for All That Jazz, a docuseries following 14-year-old transgender activist Jazz Jennings, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The 11-episode series will feature Jennings — dubbed "The New Face of Transgender Youth" — in her daily life, juggling her foray into high school while navigating how a transgender teen approaches dating and sleepovers all while avoiding male puberty.
Jennings, who has been featured on 20/20, The Rosie Show and was named one of the 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 by Time magazine, was assigned male at birth. Jennings — who also wrote children's book I Am Jazz with Jessica Herthel about living as a transgender teen — expressed her desire for all things typically associated with girls at an early age. In 2004, Jennings was diagnosed with gender identity disorder. At age 6, Jennings and her family began appearing on shows including 20/20 and The Rosie Show to share their story about growing up as a transgender child.
The TLC series will feature Jennings and her family, including parents Greg and Jeanette — who have encouraged their daughter to be who she is but now worry about what's next; Ari, Jazz's older sister and a freshman in college; Griffen and Sander, Jazz's 17-year-old twin brothers who are juniors in high school and are extremely protective of her; as well as Jack and Jacky, Jazz's maternal grandparents, who at first struggled to understand their granddaughter but have since fully embraced her.
"Jazz’s story is universal, yet unique, and we’re proud to partner with her family to share it with TLC’s audience," TLC GM Nancy Daniels said. "Jazz may be known as an author and activist, but she’s first and foremost a teenage girl with a big, brave heart, living a remarkable life."
Added Marjorie Kaplan, group president at TLC and Animal Planet: "We know that families come in all shapes and sizes, but at their core, they are all about love, acceptance, and support. Only TLC can tell this family’s story in way that celebrates and demystifies difference in an effort to help create a world without prejudice."
The series, which will bow in the summer, hails from This Is Just A Test and will be executive produced by Aengus James and Colin Miller.
