Lucky 8 TV (60 Days In) has secured an overall deal with development executive and producer Jason Bolicki’s newly launched banner Exit Four and has also hired former MSNBC Originals exec Jessica Winchell Morsa.

The agreement will see Bolicki develop and produce original content under Exit Four, with several projects already in development. Bolicki has been with the company since its inception. During his tenure as VP of development at Lucky 8, Bolicki oversaw and helped build the company’s slate of unscripted and nonfiction projects, which now encompasses 20-plus series for more than a dozen major networks, including A&E’s award-winning 60 Days In, the new ID series The Real Story with María Elena Salinas and OWN’s upcoming Released. Before joining Lucky 8, Bolicki developed and executive produced many series and specials, including TLC’s My Strange Addiction and DIY’s Made in Milwaukee. His other credits include Nat Geo’s The Final Report and A&E’s Biography.

In addition, Lucky 8 has tapped Jessica Winchell Morsa as VP of content development. She will report to Bruce Robertson, the executive VP of creative strategy, who will also oversee Bolicki’s overall deal. Winchell Morsa joins the company from MSNBC Originals.

“Jason’s talents as both a producer and developer are the reason we brought him on to lead development at Lucky 8 when we launched the company,” said Lucky 8 Co-Presidents Greg Henry and Kim Woodard. “He’s been instrumental in creating a robust and diverse programming slate that we’re all extremely proud of, and we support him 100 percent in launching his new shingle Exit Four, which allows us to continue to be in business with him and work closely as he returns to his roots as a producer. We’re also excited about the direction and expertise Jessica will bring to her new role, given her vast experience creating and developing content on both the network and production sides.”
