Daly and Lythgoe will serve as executive producers on all series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimon is an expert when it comes to creating beautiful premium content,&#8221; said Daly. \u201cHis skill of crafting suspense, authentic emotion and big reveals all under the pressure of live stage performance is one of the best in the business. He\u2019s a perfect addition to the team as we look to further expand into this space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the past two decades I have had the pleasure of being part of the biggest, most successful shows in the world,\u201d added Lythgoe. \u201cLive, shiny floor, singing, dancing and docu-reality formats have always been specialty, from <em>Popstars<\/em> in Australia, country music shows like CMT\u2019s <em>Next Superstar<\/em> to being part of the juggernaut <em>American Idol<\/em> during it\u2019s golden years. Now we\u2019re witnessing networks invest in new original programming with shows like <em>Disney\u2019s Fairy Tale Weddings<\/em> and I believe those creative times are back. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve enjoyed working alongside forward-thinking entrepreneur Jenny Daly, as she always considers the big picture, in all mediums on a global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T Group Productions has entered into an overall co-production deal with producer Simon Lythgoe (American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance) and his company Legacy Productions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":10073,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2153,2154,2155],"class_list":["post-10072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-legacy-productions","tag-simon-lythgoe","tag-t-group-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>T Group &amp;
