We’re so excited to be partnering with Wells Street on a two year first-look deal with Wells Street Films, Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s production company. The deal will give Wells Street Films the first opportunity to develop FMP’s productions for television. Wells Street Films is currently under a first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios.
Phoebe Waller Bridge and Francesca Moody first collaborated on the multi-award-winning stage production of Fleabag directed by Vicky Jones which premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2013 to great acclaim. Francesca went on to produce Fleabag around the world on behalf of DryWrite, most recently at the Wyndham’s Theatre, when it was also recorded and broadcast by NT Live, playing in cinemas throughout the world.
To date, FMP and Francesca’s work in theatre has originated two of the most globally
successful television shows of the last decade – Fleabag and Baby Reindeer. FMP
developed and produced both shows for stage before they each became a television series
on Prime Video/BBC and Netflix respectfully. Over its two series Fleabag won six Emmy
awards, three BAFTAs and three Golden Globes. The screen adaptation of the Olivier
award-winning play Baby Reindeer went on to win six Emmy awards and two Golden
Globes.
