JuVee Productions, founded by Viola Davis and Julius Tennon has comedy Unf$?%ables (working title) in development for Hulu. Co-written by John Strauss and Jeremy Hsu and inspired by the latter’s own experiences of the dating scene. It revolves around friends, an African American female and an Asian American male struggling to find success in the sometimes cruel world of dating.
“We are really excited for this show. Jeremy and John have created a show that at its core is truthful, funny, charming, and heartfelt, a perfect fit for JuVee as we expand our comedy brand featuring people of colour,” said Davis and Tennon.
Andrew Wang, JuVee’s Head of TV Development and Production, added “At JuVee Productions, we aspire to bring diverse voices and stories to the screen in a way that is fresh, compelling, and always entertaining. Jeremy and John’s honest and funny take on modern dating is a natural fit, and we’re thrilled to be working with ABC Signature to bring this story to the screen.”
Hsu is co-executive producer along with Strauss who is also showrunner. Davis, Tennon and Andrew Wang executive produce for JuVee Prods. ABC Signature is the studio.
