Halle Stanford Inks First-Look Producing Deal With The Jim Henson Company
The Jim Henson Company has inked a first-look producing deal with its longtime President of Television, Halle Stanford.
Co-created by Stanford and Dorien Davies, the show is a live-action puppet comedy for preschoolers that follows Roxy, a guitar-playing hedgehog, and Ronald, a tree-loving pig, as they embark on an adventure to discover the “Wows of the World.” Exploring awe, they’ll visit the California Redwoods, have a sleepover with the Declaration of Independence, tour art museums, and experience many more wonders. Said Stanford, “I’ve had the incredible privilege to stand next to the Dark Crystal, party down in Fraggle Rock, and now, I’m beyond excited to produce my dream show, Jim Henson’s Wowsabout!, take flight with my company, 7 Crow Stories, and dedicate myself to creating series that inspire awe, action, and imagination. Chris Lytton, The Jim Henson Company’s COO and President, added, “Having Halle Stanford apply her talent and experience now as a producer and showrunner broadens our capabilities and strengthens our slate overall, as she will provide concentrated firepower and focus to some of our highest-priority projects.”
