Cirque du Soleil, the Quebec-based company that’s become a global success, is moving into television.
The artistically innovative organization will partner with 20th Century Fox Television, to develop prime-time scripted, live-action TV shows.
“Our goal with this partnership is not to televise our live performances, but rather create content in the prime-time scripted arena that will elevate the genre by drawing from Cirque’s creative vision.” said Jacques Méthé, president of Cirque du Soleil Média.
Jonnie Davis, President of Creative Affairs at 20th Century Fox Television, described Cirque du Soleil as “vibrant, colourful and mind-bending.”
“We think the combination of Cirque and 20th is a perfect fit, and we’re already searching for writers who can tap into their world to create scripted series that are as distinctive and exciting as the world-famous Cirque live events.” said Davis.
