Bravo’s picked up two new scripted pilots – Rita and The Joneses – and will begin production on them early next year. Bravo also announced it will debut its first original scripted series in late 2013.
“These pilots give us an opportunity to explore worlds and characters that are distinct from our unscripted programming,” stated Andrew Wang, Vice President of Scripted Development and Production, Bravo. “Yet, both projects feature the memorable storylines and strong, unique characters that our Bravo audience craves.”
More on The Joneses:
The Joneses, from Life Unexpected creator Liz Tigelaar, is a remake of the 2009 Demi Moore and David Duchovny indie drama of the same name. The Joneses follows a seemingly perfect family of four that has just moved to an upscale suburb to start a new life, but have a secret they must keep from friends and neighbors… they aren’t a real family at all.
More on Rita:
Rita is an adaptation of the Danish format of the same name. This edgy, humorous and acerbic family drama follows an outspoken private school teacher who struggles to raise her own three teenage children while dealing with the inane bureaucracy and overprotective parents at her school.
