he signed at NBCUniversal earlier this year. UCP also has unscripted projects in the works from The Jim Henson Company and podcast maker Wondery, plus a dating show that takes inspiration from old-fashioned courtship rituals.
The quartet of potential series are part of an effort at UCP to develop lighter unscripted fare. The studio's previous work in the field focused largely on true crime. "While we have had great success in the realm of true-crime, we also have a softer side that we want to show off," said UCP president Dawn Olmsstead."I can't think of a better time for some fun, smart, light-hearted yet timely fare for our unscripted slate."
Said senior vp and head of unscripted programming Jessica Grimshaw,"We are excited to partner once again with Fuzzy Door, Wondery, and The Jim Henson Company on these fresh and original shows. From world-wide travels and roadside tourist attractions to inspirational celebrities and blast-to-the past dating, we have some really entertaining, escapist programming in the pipeline.
What a great idea SethMacFarlane ! You mean exactly what dannywallace did many years ago? In How To Build Your Own Country? It was such a great show - very funny & so informative. Even looked at these issues. I can fully understand why you would want to copy it.
