Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman’s Brownstone Productions has signed a first-look television deal with Universal Television, ending the company’s previous arrangement with Warner Bros. Television. The multiyear agreement gives Universal Television priority rights to develop and produce Brownstone’s future series across broadcast, cable and streaming platforms. The first project under the pact is “Pitch Perfect: K-Pop Idols,” a Peacock comedy written by Joel Kim Booster. The series follows a struggling singer-songwriter who unexpectedly auditions for the first all-American K-pop group. Banks and Handelman will executive-produce alongside Gold Circle Films’ Paul Brooks and Scott Niemeyer, with original “Pitch Perfect” director Jason Moore attached to direct and produce. Brownstone and Gold Circle produced all three “Pitch Perfect” films, which have collectively grossed more than $1 billion worldwide. Universal Television President Erin Underhill called Banks “a singular creative force” and said the studio is “excited to make Universal Television their creative home.” In a joint statement, Banks and Handelman said they were eager to continue their long-standing relationship with NBCUniversal and “cause just the right amount of chaotic joy along the way.”
