Kwatinez' Prospect Park Hires

EX-ABC EXEC PARKS AT PROSPECT: Former ABC Entertainment Group exec Josh Barry, who developed such hit shows at the network as Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy, as well as working on both Alias and Lost, has joined Jeff Kwatinetz’s film, music and TV production and management company to develop and produce drama and comedy series. Prospect Park has a third season of Royal Pains premiering June 29 on USA and the highly anticipated Wilfred, with Elijah Wood and Jason Gann, bowing June 23 on FX. They are also producing USA’s comedy Big in Japan, about a hugely popular '90s pop band which is launching a comeback. Singer-songwriter and former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi is co-executive producing with manager/producer Stephen Finfer. Finally, Prospect Park is partnering with Lionsgate on a pair of series for TNT, including Eden (from Pushing Daisies creator Peter Ocko), about an heir to a pharmaceutical company who can control people’s dreams, and Snatched, a humorous action series which follows two former lovers forced to partner on missions in the world of high-risk recovery.
