FOX COMMITS TO JASON OWEN-BACKED COUNTRY MUSIC DRAMA

10/1/19

In the latest transaction of music content getting flipped onto the big screen, Fox has announced a script commitment plus penalty to an untitled country music family dynasty drama. The project comes from writer/producer Melissa London Hilfers, Jason Owen’s Sandbox Entertainment and Fox Entertainment-owned SideCar Content Accelerator. The project is a co-production between SideCar and Fox Entertainment.

The new multi-generational music drama about America’s first family of country music comes to Fox as the network bids farewell to the hip hop music drama Empire, which will come to an end after its sixth season.

NY-based screenwriter Hilfers will be executive producing the project with Monument Records’ co-president Owen and SideCar’s Gail Berman. Hilfers is also the writer behind Amazon’s film Unfit, as well as the Sony remake of Jagged Edge.
