Seven months after exiting his longtime home at 20th Television for NBCUniversal, Seth MacFarlane has set up his first project under his company's $200 million overall deal
as a limited series. Universal Content Productions is the studio on the drama and will shop the series to broadcast and cable networks as well as streaming outlets.
MacFarlane and Seth Fisher will co-write the script and exec produce. MacFarlane's Fuzzy Door president Erica Higgins will also exec produce, which tells the epic story of one American family's turbulent voyage across the continents and across the years that spanned World War II. "I can’t think of a more exciting project with which to launch my creative partnership with UCP than Herman Wouk’s ," MacFarlane said. "I've been a devoted fan of Wouk’s WWII epic for decades, and its depiction of small-scale human endurance in the face of large-scale global upheaval has never been more relevant than it is today.
MacFarlane's Fuzzy Door inked a five-year, nine-figure deal with NBCUniversal in January, ending the prolific producer's decades-long run with Fox-turned-Disney's 20th Television. Under the agreement, the company will work with Olmstead's UCP and Pearlena Igbokwe's Universal TV to develop new projects for both studios. It was the first sweeping pact since Bonnie Hammer took on oversight of NBCU's Content Studios arm.
"We are thrilled to have our first project with UCP be something that exemplifies Fuzzy Door’s intentions that we are looking to take risks, think outside the box and find stories that are urgent and entertaining,” Huggins said.
