Based on the best-selling coming-of-age book series by Holly Smale, new Netflix<\/a> show Geek Girl is arriving next month, and RadioTimes.com<\/a> has got an exclusive first look at what fans can expect.<\/p>\n

The series stars House of the Dragon<\/a>\u2018s Emily Carey as Harriet Manners, an awkward, geeky 16-year-old who has spent her life trying to blend in. However, her whole world changes when she catches the eye of a modelling agent while on a school trip to London Fashion Week.<\/p>\n

The show\u2019s synopsis teases: \u201cTightly wound agents, reclusive designers, impossibly high heels, and a handsome young supermodel with a great smile \u2013 socially awkward Harriet has no idea what she\u2019s in for.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the images sees Carey recreating the cover art for the novel Geek Girl, set against a blue background and wearing glasses with the title written across them in red.<\/p>\n
