History
In October 2017, the company, founded by actress and producer Kaley Cuoco, entered an exclusive multi-year first look production deal with Warner Bros. Television.[1][2] The production company is named after Cuoco's dog, who appears in the logo.[3] With this production deal, the company optioned the rights to The Flight Attendant, a book written by author Chris Bohjalian. The book was later developed into a black comedy mystery thriller series of the same name, with Cuoco starring and serving as executive producer.[1] Greg Berlanti also serves as executive producer via his production company, Berlanti Productions.[4]
In August 2018, Suzanne McCormack joined the company from Chuck Lorre Productions as senior vice president, and oversees the development and production of the company's television and film projects.[5][6] In October 2018, it was announced that the company would co-produce the DC Universe animated series Harley Quinn, with Cuoco as one of the show's executive producers and the voice of its main character, Dr. Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn.[7]
In July 2019, the company entered a two-year first look production deal with Warner Bros. Television, and announced that The Flight Attendant had been picked up by WarnerMedia's streaming platform, HBO Max.[4][8] In August 2019, it was announced that the company would produce an upcoming CBS comedy, Pretty, which is written by Lindsey Kraft and Santina Muha, and will also star Kraft.[9] On November 29, 2019, Harley Quinn premiered on DC Universe,[10] with the second season premiering on April 3, 2020,[11] and a third season announced on September 18, 2020, alongside the announcement that the show would move to HBO Max, following the restructuring of DC Universe.[12]
In November 2020, it was announced that the company will be producing a live-action series called America's Sweetheart, from the developers of Harley Quinn for Apple TV+,[6] but the series later moved to HBO Max.[13] On November 26, 2020, The Flight Attendant premiered on HBO Max, and in December 2020, the series was renewed for a second season.[14] The second season premiered on April 21, 2022.[15]
In an interview with Variety in February 2021, Cuoco said that her company was acquiring the rights to a limited series about the life of actress, singer, and animal welfare activist, Doris Day.[13] In March 2021, it was announced that the company would be producing and developing a limited series about Doris Day, based on the 1976 biography Doris Day: Her Own Story by A. E. Hotchner.[16] Cuoco will play Doris Day in the series and executive produce alongside Greg Berlanti, who will also executive produce via Berlanti Productions.[17]
In May 2021, the company optioned the rights to A Season With Mom, a book written by author Katie Russell Newland, and foreword written by former American football quarterback, Peyton Manning.[18][19] Also in May 2021, the company signed a three-year first look production deal with Warner Bros. Television Studios.[20]
In October 2021, it was announced that the company would be co-producing the thriller film Role Play, with The Picture Company and StudioCanal, written by Seth Owen and directed by Thomas Vincent.[21][22] The film's cast includes Cuoco,[22] David Oyelowo,[23] Bill Nighy,[24] and Connie Nielsen.[25] Role Play began principal photography in July 2022 at Babelsberg Studio in Berlin, Germany,[24] and was released on Amazon Prime Video on January 12, 2024.[26]
