MTV Sizzle Reel Offers First Look at “Sweet/Vicious” Dramedy

“People are getting away with awful things. I’m trying to make some of that right.”

MTV is getting in on the action with a super hero of its own!

The network has released a sizzle reel of its new fall offerings — *Loosely Exactly Nicole, Wonderland, Mary + Jane and Unlocking the Truth. They’ve also managed to sneak in Teen Wolf, referring to its sixth and final season as “New Endings.”

Of the whole promo, however, there is one new series we are definitely looking forward to: Sweet/Vicious, a dark one-hour dramedy about two very unlikely friends taking justice into their own hands and kicking literal ass on their college campus.

mtv-fall-sizzle-reel-sweet-viciousJules comes off as the perfect sorority dream girl, but little do her Red Cup-toting sisters know, she’s got a completely different agenda come nightfall. Ophelia, your everyday stoner-hacker-hellion, has officially run out of effs to give, and when she discovers Jules may be the masked vigilante exacting justice on campus, her interest in college life is re-energized.

Starring Taylor Dearden (“Ophelia”) and Eliza Bennett (“Jules”), Sweet/Vicious is an offbeat superhero story for the millennial generation. Hell-bent on bringing justice to those who get away with abuse on their college campus, Jules and Ophelia take on double lives as wannabe vigilantes.

At the core of the f*cked up, hilarious, heartbreaking world of Jules and Ophelia is the heart of the show: two girls, who never felt like they belonged, finding a home in each other… and trying to kick a lot of ass.

In addition to Dearden and Bennett, the series also stars Nick Fink and Brandon Mychal Smith.

Sweet/Vicious premieres Tuesday, November 15 on MTV.
