Mirfandas, get ready! Colleen Ballinger (a.k.a. Miranda Sings) took to Youtube today to announce that her first baby -- a new series based on her cult, lipstick-wearing, crooked-smiling character -- is headed to Netflix. The online streaming platform has ordered eight episodes. No word yet on the premiere date, but BWW will keep you updated!

Variety writes that the show, titled HATERS BACK OFF, "delves into the oddball family life of Miranda Sings, an incredibly confident, totally untalented star on the rise who continues to fail upward by the power of her BELIEF that she was born famous -- it's just no one knows it yet."

Miranda Sings is an Internet character created in 2008 by American comedian, actress and singer Colleen Ballinger. Delivered with a sassy attitude, Ballinger displays videos of the comically talentless, egotistical and quirky character on her Youtube channel. On these videos, the character sings badly and rants about her critics, the "haters." Ballinger also featured the character on a second Youtube channel, where the character is popularly known to discuss a topic or gives a tutorial of the day. Recently the well-liked character made her television debut on the show Victorious.

The quirky superstar has more than 5.6 million subscribers and averages 1.5 million views per Youtube video, for a grand total of more than 800 million views. Miranda Sings has performed her one-woman show to sold-out cabaret rooms and theaters in New York, London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Dublin, and Sydney.
