A new TV incubator designed to generate straight-to-series shows is being launched by The Lego Movie franchise producer Dan Lin’s production company Rideback and Mrc, the TV and film studio behind House of Cards and Baby Driver.
The Rideback TV Incubator, unveiled Thursday by Rideback and Mrc, has a core mission to financially and creatively support TV drama writers from diverse backgrounds “who are seeking to create their own series for cable or streaming.” The new incubator offers paid eight-month residencies to a curated group of eight writers, each of whom has been on series staffs and now look to create his or her own dramatic show.
The writers — the program refers to them as Creators — are paired with experienced showrunners and/or executive producers who serve as mentors. Unlike some other similar initiatives writers will be paid during the stretch; we’re hearing the salary is in the low six-figure range.
