Hollywood Girls : Une nouvelle vie en Californie (A New Life in California), or simply Hollywood Girls, is a French soap opera created by Alexandre dos Santos, Jérémy Michalak, and Thibaut Vales for NRJ12. The series features an ensemble cast and follows a group of French people who decide to start a new life in California, but their life is quickly disrupted by the diabolical Geny G and her husband, the Dr. David Moretti.

Filming takes place completely in Los Angeles for the first and fourth seasons, but for the rest of the show, only the outside scenes where filmed in the United States, with inside scenes filmed at a studio at Le Perray-en-Yvelines in France. All the plots of the series are written by screenwriters, but dialogues are improvised by the comedians, who are almost all former NRJ12's reality show candidates.

Hollywood Girls premiered on NRJ12 on March 12, 2012. When the series was renewed for a fourth season, it was renamed Hollywood Girls : Un nouveau départ (A New Beginning), which marks the beginning of a soft reboot with most of the main cast not returning. In April 2015, it was canceled due to the low ratings of the fourth season.

Ayem Stevens and Caroline Vales are best friends. After a violent argument with her mother, Ayem realised that there was nothing for her in France and she decided to start a new life in California with Caroline, a woman recently separated from her fiancé who cheated on her the night before their wedding. In Los Angeles, they will find love, friendship and unexpected betrayal, with their lives changing for the better and for the worse.[1]
