Cynthia Littleton Business EditorThere’s been no shortage of drama in the entertainment industry this year, from mega mergers, massive restructurings, sudden executive ousters and plummeting values for media giants on Wall Street.
But from the perspective of a well connected, well funded and highly motivated producer with a track record like Seth MacFarlane, business has never been better.“It seems to be as ripe a landscape as it’s ever been,” the “Family Guy” creator/executive producer said Sunday during a wide-ranging Q&A with Erica Huggins, president of his Fuzzy Door procution banner, that was held Sunday as part of the two-day Produced By conference organized by the Producers Guild of America.MacFarlane has carpe diem’ed the past half-dozen years of Peak TV production to significantly expand the scope of Fuzzy Door, now based at Universal Content Productions.
Huggins joined the company in 2018 after years on the feature side of Imagine Entertainment. Huggins was recruited to help MacFarlane spread his wings, given that he prefers to devote himself primarily to one project at a time. “The purpose of bringing Erica on board was really to bolster what we do who has a lot of experience with talent and can take the raw material, the foundation that we built and let it mushroom and expand.”To that end, among the active series on Fuzzy Door’s roster, set to debut on Peacock in August, is “The End is Nye.” It’s a pitch-perfect example of a series that could only exist in the streaming era.MacFarlane described the series from seasoned scribe Brannon Braga as having something of a “Law & Order” format, revolving around science and climate change instead of jurisprudence.
