The organization announced the selection of Jenn Lloyd, Marc Muszynski, and Sheridan O’Donnell as its 2023 Accelerate Fellows.
All three were previously selected as members of Elevate Collective, Inevitable’s professional development program for disabled screenwriters, a decision that reflects the robust pipeline of disabled screenwriters that Inevitable Foundation is building with their interconnected programs.

Exclusive: ABC is developing Worst House on the Block, a half-hour comedy series from 20th Television.
Written by Niki Schwartz-Wright (Pivoting) and to be directed by Natalia Anderson (Maggie), Worst House on the Block has a Beverly Hillbillies vibe to it. In the show, when a poor family from South Texas inherits the worst house on the block in a chic L.A. neighborhood, they cause quite a stir among their new neighbors. Tensions may flare, but ultimately, we’ll watch as three different families, with nothing in common but their Zip code and how overwhelmed they feel by the sheer number of Love Island episodes there are to watch, start to find common ground and, slowly but surely, friendship.
Schwartz-Wright and Anderson executive produce with 3 Arts’ Oly Obst.
Most recently, Schwartz-Wright served as co-executive producer on Fox’s comedy series Pivoting. Before that, she was a co-executive producer on the NBC comedy series Abby’s.

The arc of the moral universe may bend toward justice, but it needs a little boost here and there. In the case of Black LGBTQ media, a few watershed moments shot through the culture more like a geyser than a sprinkling of incremental change: When “Orange Is The New Black” introduced the force that is Laverne Cox, when “Moonlight” won Best Picture, and when “Pose” premiered on FX.
Heading into its third and final season next month, the New York City ballroom scene drama — set in the late 1980s to early ‘90s — broke records from the jump. Its 2018 premiere marked the most transgender performers as series regulars in scripted television history, and they were all of Black or Latinx descent.
“‘Pose’ was a game-changer. Centering trans women of color in their own stories, in front of and behind the camera, has not only impacted the industry, but impacted communities and saved lives,...

ABC is developing a single-cam comedy from two former “Single Parents” writers.
The project is titled “Happy for You.” Taylor Cox is attached to write while Kim Rosenstock will serve as executive producer. The network has given the project a script commitment with a penalty attached. 20th Television, where Rosenstock is currently under an overall deal, will serve as the studio. News of the development comes as ABC is increasingly looking for female-focused content, like it’s upcoming comedy series “Call Your Mother” and the drama “Big Sky.”
In the series, when the youngest of three sisters announces she’s getting married first, it sends her older, unmarried sisters — and their newly separated mother — into an existential tailspin. The show follows this family of midwestern women as they confront their own failed love lives, plan a wedding, and try not to take their feelings out on the flower arrangements.

By the end of the “The Masked “Singer” episode on March 25, half of the 18 contestants will have been sent home with three apiece coming from Groups A, B and C. The remaining four contenders from Group C — Astronaut, Night Angel, Rhino and T-Rex — competed in this ninth episode, which aired Wednesday. One of them will be eliminated at the end of the show while the other three will continue on in the competition in the coming weeks.
Of this quartet, the biggest surprise has been the one hidden inside the T-Rex costume. She first appeared on March 11, and wowed the crowd with her energetic cover of “So What” by P!nk. Last week, she made the most of “Push It” by Salt-n-Pepa.

Fox has the #1 show of 2020,”The Masked Singer.” The key to its success is the format. In each installment, Nick Cannon introduces celebrities who sing songs while completely clad in elaborate costumes. At the end of an episode, the contestant with the fewest votes from the studio audience is unmasked and sent home.
That has been the fate of six of the dozen contestants that we’ve seen so far on season 3. Episode 7, which airs on March 11, see the last group of celebrities take to the stage for the first time. They are disguised as the Astronaut, Bear, Night Angel, Rhino, Swan and T-Rex.
A huge part of the appeal of “The Masked Singer” is trying to guess which famous faces are hidden behind these masks. Keep reading for “The Masked Singer” spoilers including the real name of the Bear.

ABC has given a pilot order to drama Wreckage, about plane crash survivors, from writer Jacquie Walters (Big Shot), Marc Webb and his Black Lamb Productions, Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly’s Timberman-Beverly Prods., and ABC Studios, where Webb and Timberman-Beverly are under deals.
Written by Walters, Wreckage is based on Emily Bleeker’s book of the same name. On the surface, Lillian Linden looks like a brave survivor of a plane crash.

Missing for almost four years, the castaways are thrust into the spotlight after their rescue, becoming media darlings overnight. But they can’t tell the real story—so they lie.

It's so hard to say goodbye, especially after you've only just fallen in love. Sometimes, a TV show only needs a few episodes to grab our attention, even if it didn't grab the attention of enough people for a network to hold onto it, and while we've forgotten many, many of the shows that were canceled after just one season, there are a few that we'll always remember. We can't predict the future of course, but at the moment, we're mourning the recent losses of Whiskey Cavalier and Abby's, which was only just canceled by NBC on Thursday. Will our love last years past their cancellation? We don't know, but right now, we're feeling it. After this...

NBC has announced a lot of cancellations and renewals in the past few days. Today, the peacock network issued their schedule for the fall portion of the 2018-19 season. A few renewed shows were notably missing -- AP Bio, The Blacklist, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Ellen's Game of Games, Good Girls, The Wall, and World of Dance -- and a subsequent press release noted they'd be returning midseason. This is a good indication that these shows probably won't have full (20+ episode) season orders. New midseason shows will include America’s Got Talent: The Champions, Abby's, The Enemy Within, The InBetween, The Titan Games, and The Village. Decisions on the fates of Timeless and Champions have not been made as yet.Here's the relevant portion of the press release:Read More…...
