EXCLUSIVE: The legacy of Jamie Tarses will live on. FanFare, the production company of the trailblazing TV executive and producer who died a year ago at the age of 56, will continue to function with the help of Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment and the support of Tarses’ family, honoring her lasting impact on the television industry.McCrae Dunlap, who was Tarses’ executive and steered the company while she was hospitalized and following her February 2021 death, will run FanFare.
Kapital, which will provide logistical support, including offices, overhead and development funds, has taken a stake in the new incarnation of FanFare for new projects going forward, with Tarses’ estate and Dunlap as co-owners.FanFare is behind two current series, The Wilds on Prime Video and The Mysterious Benedict Society on Disney+, with Tarses credited posthumously as executive producer on both.
The company has about a dozen projects in development that originated under Tarses — most of them through Sony Pictures TV — including shows in the works at Apple TV+ and TBS.
All pre-existing series and projects in development are excluded from the Kapital deal though Dunlap is working on the development slate as a producer.Sony TV, where FanFare had been based for a significant part of its existence, signed a new one-year deal with the company in October 2020, soon after Tarses’ cardiac event which she never recovered from.
