Tiny Pretty Things is an American drama television series based on the novel of the same name by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton, created by Michael MacLennan. It premiered on Netflix on December 14, 2020, and aired for one season.[1][2]

The series revolves around the goings on at a ballet school in Chicago, and focuses on the school's students, instructors, administrators, and benefactors. The dancing in the show is performed by the actors themselves, not doubles.[3]

Critical reaction to the series has been mixed. According to the actor Brennan Clost, the show was quietly cancelled by Netflix after failing to garner sufficient views in its first season.[4]
