Television shows with female leads tend to be incredibly successful, so why aren’t there more of them? "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," "Grey’s Anatomy," and "Inside Amy Schumer," are all hits in their own rights, and it seems like networks are starting to get the hint. Here are five upcoming female-centric shows with a lot of potential.

#GIRLBOSS

The upcoming #GIRLBOSS, based off the Sophia Amoruso book by the same name, follows Amoruso’s true rags-to-riches story. Kay Cannon, the woman responsible for writing the "Pitch Perfect" movies and "New Girl," teams with Charlize Theron and Amoruso to create the show for Netflix. Amoroso’s book tells about how she made a living through dumpster –diving for clothes to sell on eBay, which eventually led to her becoming the leader of a fashion empire by 27.

Max

Lena Dunham, the writer/director/producer/star of HBO’s "Girls," will be working for the network once again with "Max," a comedy set in the 60's that focuses on the struggles of second wave feminism. The main character Maxine Woodruff is described as an enthusiastic, if misguided, low-level magazine employee who stumbles into the forefront of a civil rights movement both she and the world may not be ready for.

Big Little Lies

Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman are set to star in HBO’s "Big Little Lies," a comedy that follows a group of moms who become friends through their kindergarten-age children. Murder gets thrown into the mix at some point, and with a supporting cast made up of Adam Scott, Laura Dern and Alexander Skarsgard, it’s sure to be a hit.

One Mississippi

Based off the life of comedian Tig Notaro and produced by Diablo Cody and Louis CK, "One Mississippi" will profile a fictional, semi-autobiographical version of Tig and her struggle with cancer as well as the death of her mother. Anyone who has seen Notaro’s documentary on Netflix knows how interesting and emotional this Amazon show is sure to be.

Lady Dynamite

"Lady Dynamite," coming to Netflix and produced by "Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz, will follow comedian Maria Bamford, a woman who is looking to slow down the pace of her life after recovering from a mental breakdown. "Lady Dynamite" aims to poke fun at semi-autobiographical television shows while simultaneously being one as well.
