Bob Odenkirk is now officially the head of a brand new production company.
Multiple outlets report that the Emmy-winning Better Call Saul star has Cal-Gold Pictures, with Ian Friedman who will serve as head of television. But that’s not all! Odenkirk also signed a first-look producing deal with Sony Pictures Television.
“I started in this grand charade called showbizness as a writer, it’s my default mode, so whenever I’m not onscreen you will find me in ‘development hell’… it’s wonderful to finally have partners as good-natured and experienced as Sony and Ian to share hell with,” Odenkirk said in a statement.
“I’m incredibly excited to work alongside Bob in this endeavor. I have been a massive fan of his for over 20 years. Having the opportunity to develop ideas together and bringing these concepts to fruition is a dream come true,” added Friedman.
