FORMER NICKELODEON STAR, CARLIE CASEY, ROCKS HER NEW WEB SERIES, “ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME, MARGOT”

A modern day take on Sex and the City

LOS ANGELES, CA, December 18, 2017 — Following her starring role as lovable yet conceited cheerleader Missy Meany on the popular Nickelodeon series, Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, and Mercedes Griffin on Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush, actress Carlie Casey is once again making waves in the entertainment industry. Her new web series, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margot, of which she created, co-directs, writes, produces and stars in, is currently enjoying a first season run of 6 episodes on YouTube, and was just honored with the “Award of Merit: Web Series” by the Accolade Global Film Competition.

With a title playing off Judy Blume’s classic novel, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, the show naturally deals with the issue of sex, but in an updated, witty, and highly inventive approach for the millennial crowd. Margot is the new modern day Sex and the City and a more amusing Girls, tackling smart and humorous storylines of relationships and BFFs, all while embracing female empowerment.

“Are You There God? It’s Me, Margot was born out of my passion to tell stories that encourage women to be real,” explains Carlie Casey. “With this show, I want to change the stereotypical narratives we’ve portrayed, and have been watching for way too long.”

Exhibiting perfect comedic timing as the eccentric lead character of Margot, Carlie portrays the 20-something woman who, along with her close girlfriends, is on a journey through the nuts and bolts of relationships, love, and the puzzle of life.

“My heart and soul is in creating characters that a wide spectrum of people can relate to, and in the process, providing a laugh or two,” Carlie continues to say.

Fans who remember the now 27-year-old as a teen on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide will be none too surprised to see that her talent has only blossomed over the years. She transitioned with ease from children’s programming into adult roles in projects like The CW pilot Company Town, and guest starring arcs on popular shows like New Girl and Hawaii Five-O. However, Margot is where Carlie truly comes into her own as a woman.

“I’m so proud of Carlie,” states her former Ned co-star Devon Werkeiser. “Are you There God? It’s Me, Margot is something created through growth, authentic friendship, and love. It’s funny and real, and I’m beyond ready to see more!”

The series also stars a handful of other skillful young actors including: Kendall Schmidt (Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush), Joy Brunson (NBC’s This Is Us), Ashley Jackson (FOX’s Rosewood), Allie Gonino (Sundance Channel’s The Red Road), Lauren Storm (I Love You Beth Cooper), and Carlie’s real life sister, Siera Casey (CBS’ CSI).

“The character of Margot is the best friend you always wanted in your 20’s, or really every decade,” states actress Merle Dandridge, star of OWN’s Greenleaf. “Carlie and company are hilarious, heart-warming, deliciously and absurdly wonderful. The series is my new guilty pleasure.”

Actress Francia Raisa, star of Freeform’s Grown-ish and ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager, raves the series as, “Hilarious! I enjoyed every minute of it!”
