Meet the Cast of L.O.L. Surprise! The Next Headliner

Last week, my daughter and I attended the premiere of L.O.L. Surprise! The Next Headliner. We got to interview the cast on the red carpet, watch a few episodes of the series, and celebrate at the after-party.

If you have a child between the ages of 4 and 14, chances are you’ve heard of L.O.L. Surprise! Dolls and bought a toy or two. Created by MGA Entertainment, these popular mini fashion dolls come hidden inside a plastic ball containing seven layers of unboxing surprises, including stickers, shoes and tiny accessories.

L.O.L. Surprise! The Next Headliner is a live-action original series based on the global L.O.L. Surprise! franchise. The show features a docu-comedy format and a “Making the Band” vibe. When I caught up with writer and showrunner Corinne Marshall on the red carpet, I asked her to describe the show.
