Paul Feig Inks First-Look Deal With Warner Bros. Television Group
Warner Bros. Television Group has signed a first-look deal with writer, director and producer Paul Feig and his producing partner Laura Fischer.
Discovery studio, he will develop and create original programming in all genres — live-action scripted, unscripted, animation — to be produced through his Feigco Entertainment production company for all platforms, including WBD’s HBO and Max as well as external streaming services and the broadcast networks. While he has branched into features, most recently directing and producing Another Simple Favor, starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, for Amazon, Feig’s roots are in television where his career was launched by the 1999 cult favorite Freaks & Geaks, which he created. More recently, he collaborated with Lionsgate Television on several series, including Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Minx, Love Life and Welcome To Flatch as an extension to his film deal at the indie studio.
