The new series is about a Hollywood assistant who turns the tables on an abusive boss. The new Roku Original stars Kiernan Shipka and Diane Kruger in the series.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Historically, Hollywood has always represented reinvention, rebirth. Starting over. There has never been a better time to embrace that&#8221; said showrunner and creator Kathleen Robertson. &#8220;My goal was to subvert this story and come at if from a place of both wonder and corruption, through the eyes of two complex female perspectives. Their performances are quite extraordinary. Nobody will ever see Kiernan Shipka as &#8220;Don Drapers daughter&#8221; ever again. We are beyond thrilled for this to premiere on The Roku Channel.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-1063736525\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>When Lou Simms (Kiernan Shipka) starts her internship at Fountain Pictures she seems like a na\u00efve Hollywood newcomer, awestruck by the studio&#8217;s notorious CEO, Joyce Holt (Diane Kruger). In truth, Lou has done extensive research on Joyce, and landing this internship was no happy accident. As Lou&#8217;s obsession grows, she will do anything to get close to her idol.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hollywood can be as cutthroat as it is glamorous,&#8221; said Colin Davis, Roku&#8217;s Head of Original Scripted Programming. &#8220;<em>Swimming with Sharks<\/em> does not hold back in showcasing the complex, ego-driven, and ambition fueled pursuits in one&#8217;s attempts to &#8216;make it&#8217; in a town riddled with more broken dreams than success stories.
