First he's in a movie and now he's starring in his own TV show. And here I am just writing this news piece for a middling website. JJ Totah (Other People) is headlining a show written by David Monahan and Danielle Hoover. The half hour is about a confident kid moving from a tiny town in Indiana to New York to live with his aunt, a woman who's forced happiness in her life. Her end goal is to teach her nephew that old dreams can often lead to new ones. Deadline reports that the Scotts will produce via Gettin' Rad along with Monahan and Hoover.
Adam and Naomi Scott have been really busy at HBO and NBC
Adam and Naomi Scott are Hollywood's power couple (that's right; move over Brad and Angelina). Their production company Gettin' Rad has a couple of new shows in development on two separate channels. The Hollywood Reporter writes that the company's HBO show is titled Deep S.I.X and follows a Homeland security team of the "rag tag" variety that investigates paranormal activity, both of which no one seems to believe. Broad City, Playing House and Netflix's Wet Hot American Summer writer is writing the script as well as producing with the Scott clan. NBC's new show will be called Donuthead is a single camera comedy that takes place in the imagination of an anxiety addled 11 year old and his single mother. The show is said to use a visual style unlike any other. Brave, The Lion King and NBC's Peter Pan writer Irene Mecchi and Bridget Terry will take up script duties as well as executive producing.
Adam Scott & Producer Naomi Scott Sell Family Business To Universal TV
Adam Scott and his wife and sometimes producer Naomi are opening up some more comedic avenues.
Their production company, Gettin' Rad Productions, has pulled in a first-look deal with Universal Television, the company behind all of those NBC shows you love including Parks and Recreation and other shows including Brooklyn Nine Nine and The Mindy Project. The Scott family is known for their insanely dumb but highly funny Adult Swim specials The Greatest Event In Television History.
"We love Adam's work as Ben Wyatt in our beloved Parks and Recreation, and we are excited that his and Naomi's passion to produce will continue with us at Universal TV," said Universal TV's executive vice president Bela Bajaria.
Gettin' Rad Production's latest venture is an indie film, The Overnight, that stars Scott opposite Orange Is the New Black's Taylor Schilling and Jason Schwartzman.
