Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Banner Inks First-Look Deal With Warner Bros. TV, Sets Female Wall Street Drama At NBC
Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment has closed a two-year first-look deal with Warner Bros. Television. The company already has sold its first project under the pact, drama
Shattered Glass to
NBC.
Created and written by Kat Blasband Page,
Shattered Glass, which is not related to the journalism-themed movie of the same name, is described as
House of Cards meets
Revenge. It is an empowering post-feminist revenge fantasy set in the world of Wall Street in which a trio of modern women come together to shatter their respective glass ceilings, taking no prisoners along the way.
Robbie and Brett Hedblom will executive produce for LuckyChap Entertainment alongside Patti Carr who will serve as showrunner. Page is co-executive producing.
“We are so excited by this new relationship with Warner Brothers Television,” LuckyChap Principles Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara said in a joint statement. “It has come after a great year for LuckyChap in which we have gradually been building a television slate overseen by our executive Brett Hedblom. We continue to strive to tell female stories in both Film and TV, and are immensely proud that our first two shows are created by, written by and starring women.”
The first two TV series projects for the company are
Shattered Glass and
recently sold half-hour comedy
Dollface, created/written by Jordan Weiss and starring Kat Denning, which is set up at Hulu.
On the feature side, LuckyChap, which has a first-look deal with Warner Bros., produced the Golden Globe-nominated film
I, Tonya and just wrapped production on the independent film
Dreamland. The company is repped by Management 360, CAA and attorney Jeff Bernstein.
Page is repped by CAA, Grandview Management and attorney Tara Kole. Carr is repped by CAA and attorney Patti Felker.
