Opportunity is knocking for “The Hills’” alum Whitney Port, as she packs up and moves from the comforts of her hometown in Los Angeles, California, to the Big Apple and lights of Manhattan as MTV officially greenlights “The City.”
From the same producers f the "Hills" franchise, “The City” is scheduled to air the first part of 2009.
Liz Gateley, creator and executive producer of “Laguna Beach,” developed and executive produces the project for MTV.
From MTV:
With a great new job at global design house, Diane Von Furstenberg, a best friend from her past and a guy she’s head-over-heels for, Whitney is taking a huge chance at a brand new life. Surrounded by all new friends, pursuing a fresh love life, and starting to work in the upper echelon of the fashion industry is a lot to navigate for a new girl in the big city... especially one who has everything to lose. In a city full of people with their own agendas, Whitney will have to quickly decide who she can trust and who to stay away from.
“Just as ‘The Hills’ organically evolved out of Laguna Beach, following the story of Lauren Conrad as she broke out of her protective bubble at home and moved to Los Angeles to make it on her own, we are now following another compelling character,” said Tony DiSanto, Executive Vice President, Series Development & Programming, MTV. “Now it’s Whitney’s turn. We’re bringing you her story as she leaves Los Angeles to break into the exciting Mecca of the fashion world, New York City. She is someone the viewers have grown to love; she’s confident, smart and truly someone to root for as she strives to take Manhattan!”
“I am thrilled and honored to be in New York City, not only working for one of the most renowned fashion designers, Diane Von Furstenberg, but to be able to mature as a young woman both professionally and personally,” said Whitney Port.
“The City” is created by Adam DiVello. Adam DiVello, Sean Travis and Liz Gateley will serve as executive producers. Colin Nash is co-executive producer. Catherine K. Whyte is MTV’s executive-in-charge of production. Spike Van Briesen and Sophia Rossi serve as supervising producers for the series.
