Third Scripted Series for Bravo

NEW YORK: Bravo Media has greenlit its third scripted series, My So Called Wife (working title), from Universal Cable Productions.

Executive producers are Adam Brooks (Definitely, Maybe), who directed the pilot, and Paul Adelstein (Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce). Set to premiere in 2017 with a ten-episode first season, the hour-long series follows the exploits of an unflappable con-artist as she moves on to her next victim while her exes unite in a desperate search for the truth. The series joins Bravo’s original scripted slate alongside Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce and Odd Mom Out.

“Filled with intrigue and drama along with Bravo’s trademark wink and humor, this series is the perfect addition to the network’s slate as we continue our drive in the scripted arena,” said Frances Berwick, the president of lifestyle networks at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “This project builds upon the larger than life characters already populating Bravo in our scripted and unscripted fare, but is a world we could never do justice in reality, without the FBI subpoenaing us.”

“As Bravo expands its scripted profile, we’re proud to bring to life a story that is humorous, smart and sexy—the perfect fit for Bravo’s discerning audience,” added Jeff Wachtel, the chief content officer at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment and president of Universal Cable Productions. “This project has been a longtime labor of love for Dawn Olmstead who brought it to us before joining our studio. We’re all excited to work with the brilliant Adam Brooks and Paul Adelstein.”
