Netflix's 'Tiny Pretty Things'

Tiny Pretty Things follows Neveah Stroyer, played by Kylie Jefferson, the new girl of Archer School of Ballet. Neveah quickly learns the drama and difficulties of being a ballerina at an elite dance school.

The stakes are high and even deathly, as the trailer showcases the death of student Cassie Shore after falling outside a fourth story window.

Based on a Book

Written by New York Times bestselling author Dhonielle Clayton and Sona Charaipotra, Tiny Pretty Things is a 2015 novel described as the mixture of Black Swan (2010) and Pretty Little Liars (2010-2017).

Actor Alexander Eling describes the television adaptation stating,

"It keeps close to what the book holds and does so amazing, but we add some fun stuff."

Actors Turned Ballerinas

Eling goes on to praise his fellow co-stars who he says did the dancing scenes themselves.

"All the actors that are the ballet dancers on the show do all their own dancing. There's no doubles. They all do it themselves and I did not know how hard ballet really was. I have such a newfound respect for ballerinas."
