LOS ANGELES: Viola Davis and Julius Tennon and their production company, JuVee Productions, have entered into an overall deal with ABC Studios and ABC Signature Studios.<\/p>\n
Under the terms of the agreement, JuVee Productions will develop new projects for broadcast, cable and streaming services. Additionally, JuVee Productions will develop content for ABC\u2019s digital platforms.<\/p>\n
JuVee Productions recently tapped Andrew Wang to serve as head of television development and production. Wang was most recently at Bravo, where he was VP of scripted television development and production.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe started JuVee because we wanted to see narratives that reflected our multi-ethnic and multifaceted culture,\u201d said Davis. \u201cWe wanted to be a part of classic storytelling, and we didn’t want to wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal has always been to champion bold, authentic, and courageous voices and Andrew Wang is just that,\u201d added Tennon. \u201cAndrew has an outside-the-box mindset and the experience to propel our vision forward, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome him to our team.”<\/p>\n
\u201cViola Davis\u2019s award-winning work in theater, film, and television has provided a powerful foundation to advocate for greater opportunities for communities that are traditionally underrepresented in film and television, and to tell the stories that haven\u2019t but need to be told,\u201d commented Wang. \u201cViola and Julius\u2019s determination to provide these opportunities, and to tell these stories, through new voices and fresh perspectives, in any format, is what excited me about joining the team at JuVee Productions. We\u2019re thrilled to be working with our partners at ABC Studios to bring JuVee’s vision to life…finding new storytellers and bringing their distinct points of view and character journeys to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n
