It’s official: both co-creators of Bless This Mess have signed deals with 20th Century Fox TV.
Almost a year after comedy series Liz Meriwether inked a four-year overall deal with the studio, Lake Bell signed a new pod deal via her Lake Bell Prod. banner with 20th Century Fox TV.
“Lake Bell is a creative force of nature whose incredible talent extends from acting and directing to writing and producing,” said 20th Century Fox TV president of creative affairs Carolyn Cassidy. “Her hard work and creativity have helped make Bless This Mess into the hilarious, original and warm series we adore. We are thrilled to be able to continue to tell great stories with Lake for multiple platforms.”
“I’m supremely keen to expand my partnership with Carolyn Cassidy, Craig Hunegs, Howard Kurtzman, and the entire 20th Century Fox Television family. They’ve been longtime champions of my work, so I’m honored to be able to find a TV home for my company, Lake Bell Prod. Already, they’ve been exceedingly supportive in my future projects, spanning all tones and genres… but that doesn’t mean my office will be on the lot, because, you know… traffic,” said Bell in a statement.
In addition to creating, starring, and executive producing Bless This Mess, Bell voices Poison Ivy in the DC Universe animated Harley Quinn. She’s also set to star on Netflix’s Medical Police.
