The official Synopsis

Apple Cider Vinegar takes place at the birth of social media and follows two young women – Belle and Milla – who set out to cure their life-threatening illnesses through health and wellness, motivating their growing online communities along the way. All of which would be inspiring if it were true.

According to executive producers Liz Watts and Louise Gough, creator “Samantha Strauss has created a series that is searing in its comment but entertaining at its very core. It’s complex, it’s got bounce and it’s got bite, and we love it.” Sounds awesome!

If you’re wondering who Strauss is, she is an award-winning Australian writer (Nine Perfect Strangers), who is scripting the show with Anya Beyersdorf and Angela Betzien. 

Who is in the cast?

On December 14, Netflix unveiled the all-star cast which includes TV Week Gold Logie nominee Mark Coles Smith, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart‘s Alycia Debnam-Carey and The Bold Type star Aisha Dee.

Joining them are Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick, Unbelievable), Tilda Cobham-Hervey (The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart) and Ashley Zukerman (Succession).
