The series stars Lumi Pollack (“The Fallout”) as perfectly put-together Posey, Carmen Sanchez as school rebel Jade, Ruby Marino as quirky and optimistic Tulip, and Nathaniel Buescher (“Circuit Breakers”) as class crush and band supporter Lucas. Creators Eric Friedman, Alex Fox and Rachel Lewis serve as executive producers along with iconic songwriter Diane Warren and Bahareh Batmang. Warren also writes the majority of the songs for the series, including all songs in the pilot and the theme song. Check out the Trailer:
Born in Mexico and raised in a vibrant Cuban household, Carmen is a true triple threat—actor, singer, and dancer—who’s been steadily building momentum since she stole hearts at just eight years old on La Voz Kids (Team Yankee!). That breakout moment launched a professional career that includes a national tour with Broadway’s On Your Feet, a standout appearance on America’s Most Musical Family alongside her dad, and guest roles on Nickelodeon’s Side Hustle. Now 17, Carmen is ready for her breakout. In Electric Bloom, she plays Jade—a sharp-edged, music-loving rebel whose story mirrors Carmen’s own blend of grit, rhythm, and soul. Off-screen, she fronts her own band, Carmen and the Havana Band, performing to packed crowds in Southwest Florida, and is currently writing and recording original music.
