Skinny Dip is already making noise online because Amanda Seyfried has just signed on to lead the new Prime Video take on Carl Hiaasen’s wild novel. Fans want to know one thing right away: What is this series about and why is Seyfried the perfect pick.
The short answer is that it’s a twisty revenge story with a ton of attitude and Seyfried gets to play a character who goes from getting betrayed to being unstoppable. Now let’s get into everything that makes this show so exciting.
Skinny Dip and its wild revenge plot finally coming to life
The coolest part about Skinny Dip landing at Prime Video is how the story finally feels like it’s getting the right space to breathe. The creators behind shows like Once Upon a Time are writing it, and Amanda Seyfried is stepping in as Joey Perrone.
The full official synopsis reads:
“Skinny Dip is the story of Joey Perrone, whose second anniversary didn’t go quite as planned. She expected earrings, but instead, her husband Chaz had, shall we say, alternate plans. After unexpectedly finding herself on the other side of those plans, she vows to get revenge. Teaming up with a disgraced ex-cop, Joey sets out to make Chaz pay. Skinny Dip is an action-romantic-comedy-triangle about murder, vengeance, and the elusiveness of true accountability in this world.”
What makes this even more fun is how the team behind it already loves Carl Hiaasen’s books. Bill Lawrence, who is working on another Hiaasen show at Apple, is also executive producing the series.
Joey’s story has that mix of danger and humor and this creative group feels perfect for it. Prime Video reportedly swooped in with a strong offer, which basically shows how much faith the streamer has in the series becoming a big hit.
With Seyfried acting and executive producing, the project finally feels alive in a way fans have been waiting for.
Why Amanda Seyfried’s casting makes perfect sense
If you’ve followed Amanda Seyfried, you already know why people are hyped. Skinny Dip gives her a role that mixes comedy, chaos, heartbreak and bold payback, which fits right into her long streak of surprising performances.
After Mean Girls she kept proving she could jump between genres. She has done iconic musicals, thrillers, heavy dramas and even won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for The Dropout.
Her joining Skinny Dip as both lead and executive producer makes the whole show feel bigger than just another adaptation. It signals that the story of Joey Perrone is going to be played with real energy and personality.
And, because this show comes from the same writers who once ran Lost and Once Upon a Time, Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, you can basically expect layers, mystery and character twists that keep you glued to your screen.
The upcoming series moving from Max to Prime Video also hints that Amazon sees potential for this show to grow in a way fans of Hiaasen’s other adaptations will appreciate.
Skinny Dip already feels like the next buzzy Prime Video series and Amanda Seyfried is a huge part of that excitement. With a revenge plot that’s sharp and funny, a creative team that knows how to build addictive shows, and a lead actress who always delivers something new, the series should definitely be on your must watch list.
If the series moves forward, Joey Perrone’s story could easily become one of Prime Video’s standout titles.
