Atomic Monster & Truly Original Team for Unscripted Series

James Wan’s Atomic Monster is set to expand into unscripted content through a new partnership with Truly Original.

“This is an opportunity to bring a completely fresh creative approach and perspective to unscripted,” said Chachi Senior, Truly Original’s head of development. “James’ and Atomic Monster’s distinct and ridiculously captivating storytelling abilities, combined with Truly’s deep experience and legacy of creating unscripted hits, provide an exciting foundation for the various series we’re developing together. We’re all looking forward to taking these projects to market, and ultimately, to viewers.”

Producer Ingrid Bisu (Malignant), Wan (Malignant and the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom) and Atomic Monster’s Michael Clear (Malignant and the upcoming Salem’s Lot) are set to collaborate with Truly Original’s leadership team, including Co-CEOs Steven Weinstock and Glenda Hersh, as well as Senior, to develop and produce new reality formats and series.

Bisu said: “I love watching reality TV because, when done right, it can be unfiltered and raw. It’s fascinating to see love, triumph, heartbreak and the entire human experience on display during the most intimate moments in a stranger’s life. It makes one feel less alone when so many of the situations these people find themselves in are extremely relatable. That’s what I want to see more of. James and I are so excited to work with the folks at Truly to turn some of our original concepts into series.”

Wan added: “We cannot be more excited to venture into the unscripted space with Truly Original, who is the perfect partner to tell these interesting stories with.”
