Olivia Holt Gushes Over Working With Producer Jessica Biel

Olivia Holt is dishing on the female representation on her new series Cruel Summer!

The 23-year-old actress shared in a new interview what it was like working with executive producer Jessica Biel on the Freeform show.

Jessica was so involved. She’s incredible and not just as a producer, but as a human being,” Olivia told ET Canada. “She was just so collaborative, and having a producer like that changes everything.”

“Something that really drew me in was the female representation of the two female leads to the female creatives behind this project,” she added about the female representation to TV Guide. “I definitely think that we need more of that. I know that when I was a kid I didn’t really see a lot of that on screen. I’m very grateful to be a part of this.”
