DEVELOPMENT
SickBird Productions unannounced plans to develop two original, unscripted series, “Roots on the Ground” and “Global Affairs.”
Both series are described as and designed to be “well-researched, journalism-driven explorations that shine a spotlight on diverse, female-centric storytelling,” reads the statement.
“‘Roots on the Ground’ is a powerful new series that uncovers the untold stories of female innovators from underrepresented regions, inspiring a global audience. Each episode intimately explores the lives of visionary women — from tech leaders in Kenya to indigenous farmers in Peru — as they break barriers and drive economic and cultural change,” reads its logline.
Meanwhile, “‘Global Affairs’ takes you on a journey into the diverse world of dating across different regions. Each episode highlights the unique and compelling stories of women as they navigate relationships shaped by their local cultures. Alongside these personal tales, our narrator explores the distinctive dating traditions and norms of each area.”
SickBird previously announced the selling of their original IP to Kevin Hart’s company, Heartbeat Productions and is also behind three other unscripted series, “The Shade Brunch,” “Thick House” and Love Locked. Collectively, these shows have amassed over 40 million viewers.
PROGRAMMING
Showdog Studios has signed with Gersh for representation in all areas and added five projects to its production and development slate.

“Signing with Gersh marks a significant milestone for Showdog Studio as we continue to expand our footprint in television and film,” said Attard. “Our dedication to storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. By combining this passion with a tech-forward approach, we’re able to push the boundaries of what’s possible in visual effects and production.”
