Your PRIVATE Web Series

Posted at 05:55PM May 08, 2009 by pneditor in Status

Hey PRIVATE fans,

So now that you've recovered from the announcement that PRIVATE is becoming a web series, here are some more deets...

1. You can watch all six episodes of the PRIVATE reality competition (starting July 21st) right here on privatetheseries.com and on Teen.com/private.

2. You can watch all twenty episodes of the PRIVATE web series (starting August 11th) right here on privatetheseries.com and on Teen.com/private.

3. Don't you dare let the idea of auditioning for the role of Kiran intimidate you! You don't have to be 5'8" and flawless to audition. So go for it! Because, hey...you never know.

4. The show will be filmed in LA. The three grand prize winners of the online casting contest will all have the chance to go to Hollywood, appear in a reality show, and compete for the chance to play Kiran in the series.

5. This web series is for PRIVATE fans like y-o-u. You made the books a success. You made this possible. And, thanks to the Executive Producers of Gossip Girl...you may even be in it!

Stay tuned!
<3 Kate

The script doesn't stick to the book. Wat happened 2 Natasha? Hello? She's my fav character. Taylor and Kiran r supposed 2 b roommates? I'm infuriated. Haha, but otherwise I'm happier than the Grim Reaper. Seriously.

Posted by Steph :-) on May 08, 2009 at 06:05 PM EDT #

I didn't mean 2 have a question mark after roommates. It's not a question but a fact.

This is amazing! I can't wait for the series!!!

Posted by Clare on May 08, 2009 at 06:39 PM EDT #

Alright I am so auditioning! And yeah what about Natasha? I really like her, and she has the same name as me, how cool is that?! LOVE the series, can't wait for the show, even if im not in it :D Lots of love, natasha xox

i'm really nervous about this... i don't want them to ruin the books.... i guess we'll see what happens...

Posted by Amanda S. on May 08, 2009 at 06:52 PM EDT #

Posted by Amanda S. on May 08, 2009 at 06:52 PM EDT #

Posted by Gossip Girl on May 08, 2009 at 07:13 PM EDT #

OMG can not wait. I was wondering though i just finished reading Paradise Lost and I can not believe she just fell into water and it ended. I need to know what happened so Kate i was wondering are you writing the next book in the series?? Thxx

Posted by laurel on May 08, 2009 at 07:26 PM EDT #

AH! I can not wait for August 11th! I'm so excited and curious of how the web series will be. Will each episode be like 30 minutes?

Posted by Jacqueline on May 08, 2009 at 09:32 PM EDT #

I can't wait to see this as a show. I really hope it is a lot like the books though. I write too you see and I get my inspiration from this series. Be sure to look for THEM in the future! Love, N

Posted by Nicole on May 08, 2009 at 09:42 PM EDT #

Kate? I would really love for you to see some of my work. You are an amazing author and I only hope that some day my work will be as famous as yours is now. If you can find the time, please email me: nhackett@live.ca I would love to hear your opinions.

Posted by N on May 08, 2009 at 09:45 PM EDT #

Kind of nerve wracking.. How old might you have to be to try out? I don't want to try out for nothing you know?

Posted by AnnaJane on May 08, 2009 at 11:05 PM EDT #

im thirteen... i cant audition can i?.....

Posted by Darla on May 08, 2009 at 11:50 PM EDT #

Posted by graceee on May 09, 2009 at 09:37 AM EDT #

Posted by Mariah on May 09, 2009 at 09:55 AM EDT #

i want to adition but it says i have to make sure im free and i have drivers ed half of those dates :'-(

Posted by taylor on May 09, 2009 at 10:22 AM EDT #

I'm soo angrey that the script is Nothing like the books!I just read them over and I just couldn't believe how they changed it.Since when was Reed assigned to the Billings house.How could they take out Natasha?!? I'm disapointed, but I will still plan to watch.I thought about auditioning for the part of Kiran, but then i remembered that the exact opposite of a beautiful, thin, model!:(

Posted by Ariana on May 09, 2009 at 11:06 AM EDT #

Why not just audition anyway? i'm auditioning, though I don't think Im gunna get far. But you might as well try too, what if they actually like you? How cool would that be! And yeah im 14 and auditioning so yeah you can be 13!! natasha xox

Posted by Natasha White on May 09, 2009 at 01:34 PM EDT #

AHH! This sounds so amazing, it's really annoying for me though, cause i live in England, so i don't think i will be able to audition! Anyway, looking forward to it! x

Posted by Olivia on May 09, 2009 at 02:50 PM EDT #

So wait... it is a web series? Or a TV series?

Posted by Lizzie on May 09, 2009 at 03:03 PM EDT #

omg make last christmas a episode that would be cool dont u think love marissa your numero uno fan

Posted by Marissa on May 09, 2009 at 04:08 PM EDT #

man i cant waaaaiit! i think i might audition... just for fun :) but i dont know, im fine with the fact theres just gonna be a show!

Posted by Lindsey on May 09, 2009 at 08:51 PM EDT #

OMG!!! There's gonna be a web series???? I can't wait!!!! Kate Brian, i LOVE your books!!! absolutley love them!!!! i luv all of the characters. I'm not trying out, but i'm so watching the web series! Good luck to everyone!!

Posted by Samantha on May 09, 2009 at 11:36 PM EDT #

omg. make all of the books a series. i luv all of ur books. i'm not trying out, but good luck to all of u who have the guts!!!! KEEP ON WRITING KATE BRIAN!Can't wait until the Privledge sereis!!! You number one fan, Samantha xoxo

Posted by Samantha on May 09, 2009 at 11:39 PM EDT #

look, i love all the books... they're my life!!! not literally, but you get what i mean. but, a web series? that just changes the way things get viewed in peoples minds. sorry, but i don't agree with it.

Posted by biz on May 10, 2009 at 02:34 AM EDT #

is there not gonna be another book being told by reed?

Posted by serena on May 10, 2009 at 02:47 AM EDT #

I can't wait to see THOMAS!!!

Posted by audrey on May 10, 2009 at 04:06 AM EDT #

I agree with you 100% biz. I have certain pictures in my head of what all the characters look like, and a casting director will never be able to match what everyone sees in their heads. So i'm nervous about this.... i would be cool if they did a good job... but these things usually ruin the books. And I LOVE these books!!! Keep them coming kate!!! But if it's alreay in contract to do the first 4 books... maybe they could stop after that? I think that's plenty...

Posted by Amanda S. on May 10, 2009 at 11:09 AM EDT #

i just hope they dont mess it up. id rather it be a tv series, because usually tv shows are better than web series..also, if they dont cast THE PERFECT josh hollis i dont what i will do! they have to make sure reed and josh have tons of chemistry and i think they should try to make the actors older. i dont want to watch a bunch of thirteen year old girls pretend to be the billings girls. the clique movie was awful because of how young they were so hopefully that doesnt happen to this!

Posted by cassie on May 10, 2009 at 12:56 PM EDT #

AHHHHHHH! you are amazing for doing this. i think its neat how you want your fans to be in it. i think im going to do the video thing.

Posted by kelly <3 on May 10, 2009 at 01:50 PM EDT #

heyy kate are the auditions just for kiran?? canuse if it is can you plzz put the list of the other actors thxx --sara

Posted by sara on May 10, 2009 at 03:50 PM EDT #

Hey Kate, I can not wait to see the series Yay! Im So excited *P.S.* Do you think they'll do more after the first for books?

Posted by Brittanny on May 10, 2009 at 04:49 PM EDT #

Im so excited for the web series! I cant wait. And also i am excited for suspicion!I wish there was some way thomas could come back. I dont know if i will be able to wait that long to read it though:(

Posted by Morgan on May 10, 2009 at 05:12 PM EDT #

i think thomas should come back in a dream or something. anyway, i cant wait for the series. im trying to read the books before the series starts. i dont want the characters in my head to change. but i love the series!!!

Posted by sydnie on May 10, 2009 at 05:51 PM EDT #

i think the web series might ruin it... but watever lol i'll still love the books! oh and r u gonna post the 1st chapter of beautiful disaster on the internet??

Posted by komi on May 10, 2009 at 06:27 PM EDT #

im very confused! so is the show going to be on TV or is it going to just be on the computer? because i hope its going to be on TV!

Posted by sheila on May 10, 2009 at 07:10 PM EDT #

okay, so the web series should be cool. but wouldnt it be cooler if it was a movie? heck yesss!! i would so go see that. or maybe even star in it.? i think i could pass as two characters. but think about it. it could be really big like the web series! <333 cant wait!

Posted by sidney wood on May 10, 2009 at 08:26 PM EDT #

It's so upsetting because i want to audition but my nationality doesn't go with kirans..

Posted by marcella on May 10, 2009 at 08:51 PM EDT #

Im disapointed Why the gossip girl producers let a PRIVATE series like this slip away A WEB SHOW? noooooooo this deserve a movie A REAL SHOW its gonna be 30290912 times better then gossip girl if it were a real show OMG and the girl who plays Noelle Better not dissapoint me becuz i have high expecations for a high class chachther

Posted by Evelyn on May 10, 2009 at 10:15 PM EDT #

I am so excited for this opportunity. I love Kiran's character. So glad they are bringing these books to a web series.

Posted by Logen on May 11, 2009 at 12:32 AM EDT #

That's sounds awesome but It kindof sucks because It's open to US residents only.I love this series and i'm currently reading the spin off-privilege-but from the PRIVATE series Kiran was one of my faves so I would have loved to audition but I live in New Zealand.Oh well.I'm excited for the show anyway.Keep writing those books-v.v.v.v addictive. Xo

Posted by Ekaterina on May 11, 2009 at 02:46 AM EDT #

omg i want to tryout so bad. but someone told me african americans shouldnt try out because they will never pick one of us. so that really discouraged me. but i think i will still do it. (:

Posted by Jordan on May 11, 2009 at 09:31 AM EDT #

I hope the web series doesn't mess up the way the books are. i hope it follows the books closely

Posted by Kaitlin on May 11, 2009 at 12:00 PM EDT #

when is the next book coming out???

Posted by natasha on May 11, 2009 at 03:50 PM EDT #

I was wondering if it mattered whether the person trying out was African-American, or Indian, or of a different race than Kiran.

Posted by dee on May 11, 2009 at 04:07 PM EDT #

SHE kiran did it SHE pushed reed of the boat shes been jelous of her and upton and her crazy roomate pushed her to the edge she tryed to kill reed>.....tht or shes mad about the nerd omg u r genius!!!!!!!!!!kassandra 3 words needs more josh P.s he better be hot!!!!!!!1

Posted by kassandra on May 11, 2009 at 05:47 PM EDT #

I loove these books. I read the first two in two days. My mom is getting me the third one tonight. I'm pretty sad Thomas dies, and I have a feeling that Ariana killed him....cause she seems like she's always thinking about something, and when read said they were dating she knew, and said it coldly..sooo we'll see

Posted by Em on May 11, 2009 at 06:02 PM EDT #

I am trying outtt I love your series and literally this was like my dream hahaha to it become a series!!! yeah :D and i was wondering if there are other parts avaialable to try out for?

Posted by katie on May 11, 2009 at 06:44 PM EDT #

Hey- So i am totally excited!!! wootwoot!ha i really want to try out but i dont know if i can? :( but anyways i am really excited with it becomming a webseries, but i do agree it would be better as a movie. oh well and kate you are the best author ever! i used to hate reading but now i cant get the billing girls out of my head! xoxo, Courtney

Posted by Courtney <3 on May 11, 2009 at 11:48 PM EDT #

I can't wait for the web series! I would love to audition but I can't which is too bad...I live in Australia. Anyway at least I can watch the web series on the internet. I have a question, are you going to post a draft like you did ith Paradise Lost for Suspiscion on the internet

Posted by Grace on May 12, 2009 at 07:58 AM EDT #

can't wait till the private series come on the net. but is ariana gonna be in the series???

Posted by Brittany on May 12, 2009 at 09:45 AM EDT #

hey kate, which out of the pictures on the book is reed? who's who?

Posted by Linda on May 12, 2009 at 09:59 AM EDT #

hey kate. so im not totally understanding this. is there going to be like a movie of the series or something? or is it all going to be online? not totally 100% sure on this...

Posted by Ashley on May 18, 2009 at 02:55 PM EDT #

i think this is gonna be pretty cool! but i think they should defiantly make it into a movie-i want to try out cuz my drama teacher said that I'm good at acting but if i do make it (on some insanely awesome chance that will never happen) i don't think I'm skinny enough to play a Billings Girl. anyways kate, i love love love your books!! they kind of inspired me to think positive about myself lol i know kinda cheesy but still! :)) good luck to all of the people auditioning! luv ya!! :) <3 Mandie

Posted by mandie on May 23, 2009 at 06:59 PM EDT #

is it gonna be available in the uk??? Hope it is otherwise ill be so upset and so will all my friends! sucks to cut out some of the characters but i cant wait anyway!

Posted by Ali on May 24, 2009 at 12:28 PM EDT #

i think everyone should audition because you never know, a web series could turn into a tv series and someone could be the next leighton meester!

Posted by KT on June 01, 2009 at 09:40 PM EDT #

hello kate.. i love the prvate series. but one complaient i do have was, i do not know what book comes after "Last Christmas". you might not be able to tell us, but will you at least let us know if your going to write another on.. because im confused on how privlige and private relate to one another!

Posted by nicki pomonis on June 11, 2009 at 11:58 PM EDT #

I couldn't audition and I am like 5'7 and I look like Kiran. So not fair

Posted by Siobhan on June 18, 2009 at 05:35 PM EDT #

i dont understand y they just dont make it in2 a series on tv cuz i think it would b more popular....n e ways i love the books. i have read the whole series(including the pre-qual) twice. the 1st one is the best tho cuz of thomas. lol.

Posted by alexis on June 22, 2009 at 12:16 AM EDT #

hey kate is their gonna be an 11th book in the private series? or can you not tell? and what is suspicion gonna be about?

Posted by Kathryn on July 05, 2009 at 02:53 PM EDT #

Omg, this is going to be the best series ever! But, I am from New Zealand, and I just wanted to say that 'Private' has heeeeaps of fans here too. But for some reason, the videos aren't authorised here, so nobody in NZ can watch them! My best friend and I are huuuuge fans, and we can't even watch the videos! If it is possible, could something be done about this? Thanks.

Posted by Ashlee-Rose on July 23, 2009 at 01:39 AM EDT #

THERE is GOING to be an 11TH BOOK in the series and it is goin be be called SCANDAL kate mentioned this on her twitter page!!! um if any one of u is from great britain how are u goin to watch it cause it says it is not authorized for our area!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by mia on July 24, 2009 at 10:31 AM EDT #

THER IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER BOOK AFTER LAST CHRISTMAS AND T IS CALLED BEAUTIFUL DISASTER IT CAME OUT IN JUNE AND THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER ONE CALLED PERFECT MISTAKE WHICH IS COMING OUT IN NOVEMBER OR SOMEWHERE AROUND THAT TIME

Posted by mia on July 24, 2009 at 10:34 AM EDT #

helloo kate i just wanted to say me and my mates are MAD on your books we order them on the internet and are phyced for scandal coming out. we live in england and its a shame we cant see the wenseries as the private series is all we ever talk about. my dream is to be an actress and i would have loved the chance to be on your webseries but i hopee that u make people out of the us get a chance to see it and thank you for the inspiration and happiness your books have brought me and my friendsss :D xxxx

Posted by bethh . xxx on December 08, 2009 at 01:47 PM EST #

OH MY GOD!!!!!!. What are these people thinking. Noelle has brown hair. Reed wasn't in Billings untill the end of the book when Ariana liked her and then they excepted her into Billings!!! I have never been so disapointed. Kirin has blond hair not dark brown! Taylor also has blond hair. Plus there where more Billings gilrs in the book then there was on the show!!! Oh and I cant watch the web series because they dont have it on teen.com any more. The books should become movies!!! I'm sure lots of people would like that.You should be very diapointed in yourself. It completly ruined the books. Please take my advise make them into movies with charecters that fit the discription.

Posted by Bella Wilder on January 24, 2010 at 01:26 PM EST #

Posted by hanne on March 11, 2010 at 05:59 AM EST #

I can only watch like the first three episodes. Where are the rest?

Posted by Alyssa on June 26, 2010 at 05:17 PM EDT #

Thank you so much for making the web series unavailable to viewers outside the US. What a genius move. Now I'll save a fortune from never buying any of Kate Brian's books ever again. Congrats!

Posted by Jennifer Fennifer on July 03, 2010 at 01:08 AM EDT #

I've re-read this whole series again. But I haven't read Vanished yet because I'm waiting for it to come in my library. But anyways, why can't I watch the web series? I can only watch the first episode on this site and for some reason when you search "Private" in Teen.com, it says there's nothing on it. I'm getting really irritated and frustrated a little haha. Help?

Posted by Brittany on October 02, 2010 at 01:31 AM EDT #

Umm... okay so i tried to watch the series "Private" on teen.com but its like been removed.So how the heck are we supposed to watch the series? Some help please.

Posted by Jessica on October 04, 2010 at 11:14 PM EDT #

I hate that the series isn't online anymore apparently at least not if you are outside Canada. I find that unfair. I really wanted to watch it now that I finally have had time to read the books. Urrgh. This is quiet annoying.

Posted by Victoria R on October 15, 2010 at 10:10 PM EDT #

I really wanted to watch the series since i just fond out about it today, and when i came on here to watch it there was only one episode, and the web series on teen.com is not on there anymore :/

Posted by Sophie on November 27, 2010 at 11:46 AM EST #

Posted by kiki on February 03, 2011 at 05:56 AM EST #

Posted by mika on June 24, 2011 at 02:32 AM EDT #

Eek just found out about the web series today and can't find anywhere to watch it. Any help on finding some place to watch it outside of Canada?

Posted by Izzy on July 03, 2011 at 01:18 AM EDT #
