FOX Entertainment & McG Tie Up

FOX Entertainment and writer, producer and director McG (Supernatural, Lethal Weapon, We Are Marshall) have entered into a broadcast direct development deal.

Under the pact, McG and his production company, Wonderland Sound & Vision, will develop and produce drama series for FOX, which will own and distribute the programming created under the partnership.

The broadcast direct deal reunites FOX with McG, who executive produced and directed the first two episodes of Lethal Weapon, which aired on the network for three seasons. He also executive produced The O.C.

“From The O.C. to Lethal Weapon, McG is an original talent who has made an indelible imprint on FOX,” said Michael Thorn, president of entertainment at FOX Entertainment. “Welcoming him and Wonderland back to the FOX team is a pleasure to announce because we know the possibilities for imaginative storytelling are limitless.”

McG added, “Michael is a rare talent who understands how to tell artistically excellent stories that can be enjoyed by large audiences. This is the definition of FOX. Big, bold storytelling that is inviting to everyone.”
