Bravo Increases Scripted Development Slate

NEW YORK: Bravo Media has added three new projects to its scripted development roster, including My So Called Wife, a dark comedy from Adam Brooks and Paul Adelstein.

My So Called Wife comes from the team who also did Bravo's Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce. The series follows a female con artist.

Also added to the scripted slate is White Collar Wives, written by Vanessa Reisen (Extant, Weeds) for Adjacent Productions, with Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner serving as executive producers. It features the women married to powerful men at a crumbling hedge fund.

Gale Anne Hurd’s Valhalla Entertainment (The Walking Dead) and Judith Verno’s Peace Out Productions (Masters of Sex) are behind All that Glitters. The miniseries, based on the book Newhouse: All the Glitter, Power and Glory of America’s Richest Media Empire and the Secretive Man Behind It, is set at the height of the magazine era in the '80s.

“We're thrilled with the success of Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, and excited for Bravo audiences to fall in love with our first comedy, Odd Mom Out,” said Lara Spotts, the senior VP of development at Bravo. “As we look to expand our scripted slate we're eagerly taking on new territories, from fashion to finance to female con artists, and we obviously jumped at the opportunity to continue our relationship with Paul Adelstein and Adam Brooks who have a proven track record with the network.”
