Lionsgate Enters Production Pact for Unscripted Content

Lionsgate has inked a new overall television deal with unscripted TV producers Katy Wallin and Stephanie Bloch Chambers.

Under the agreement, the pair will create original nonfiction programming and formats for television and digital platforms through their new Wallin-Chambers Entertainment banner.

Wallin is the CEO and founder of MysticArt Pictures. Among many other credits, she is the creator and executive producer of Meet the Putmans on TLC. Bloch Chambers has exec produced USA Network’s Chrisley Knows Best, NBC’s Better Late Than Never and Bravo’s Toned Up, to name a few series.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to work with the highly sought-after, multi-talented duo of Stephanie Bloch Chambers and Katy Wallin,” said Jennifer O’Connell, Lionsgate’s executive VP of alternative programming. “Having worked with Stephanie on Bethenny Ever After and It’s A Brad, Brad World together and being a fan of Katy’s impressive body of work, I cannot wait to see what fresh, distinctive, boundary-spanning programming they come up with next.”

“We are inspired and motivated to start 2018 collaborating with Jen O’Connell and Lionsgate, one of the most innovative powerhouse studios in the industry and a perfect partner to join forces with,” added Wallin and Bloch Chambers. “Our goal is to continue our momentum and use our entrepreneurial acumen to package and create new original programming driven by a diverse array of stellar talent.”
