Nobody's Princess

Post by Sotiris »

As Crazy Ex Girlfriend is coming to an end, the CW is setting its sights on a new musical comedy series, which puts a contemporary spin on classic fairytale princesses. The network has put in development Nobody’s Princess, from Life Sentence creators Erin Cardillo and Richard Keith, songwriters/screenwriters Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner (First Date musical), Fulwell 73 (Late Late Show with James Corden) and CBS TV Studios where Fulwell 73 is under a deal.

Written and executive produced by Cardillo, Keith, Zachary and Weiner, Nobody’s Princess is a musical comedy that reimagines the stories of four classic fairy tale princesses for today’s generation. Instead of being set “once upon a time, in a land far away” where princesses were waiting around for true love to find them, the time is now, the setting is New York City, and the princesses are a group of friends in their twenties who are setting out to change the world and create their happily-ever-afters on their own terms.

Fulwell 73 partners James Corden, Jeff Grosvenor, Ben Winston and Leo Pearlman executive produce. CBS TV Studios produces with Fulwell 73 and Keith and Cardillo’s In Good Company.

Zachary and Weiner have been a songwriting and screenwriting team since their high school days as drama jocks at Oakwood in North Hollywood. The first song they sold was for Hanna-Barbera’s A Flintstone Family Christmas, which ultimately led to other projects such as their musical First Date on Broadway. They most recently penned the songs for the musical episode for ABC’s Once Upon A Time, “The Song In Your Heart.”

The project's moving to Amazon.
Amazon has put in development Nobody’s Princess, a musical comedy, which puts a contemporary spin on classic fairytale princesses. The project hails from writer Nicole Delaney, Life Sentence creators Erin Cardillo and Richard Keith, songwriters/screenwriters Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner (First Date musical), Fulwell 73 (Late Late Show with James Corden) and CBS TV Studios, where Fulwell 73 is under a deal. James Corden, Ben Winston, Leo Pearlman and Jeff Grosvenor executive produce for Fulwell 73. CBS Television Studios and Fulwell 73 co-produce.

Written and executive produced by Delaney, Cardillo, Keith, Zachary and Weiner, Noboby’s Princess is an irreverent musical comedy that reimagines the stories of four classic fairy tale princesses for today’s generation. Instead of being set “once upon a time, in a land far away” where princesses were waiting around for true love to find them, the time is now, the setting is New York City, and the princesses are a group of friends in their twenties who are setting out to create their own happily-ever-afters — even if that means crappy jobs, hangovers, and one night stands. The series will feature original songs by Zachary and Weiner.

The project was originally set up at the CW last season with Cardillo, Keith, Zachary and Weiner writing. Because Cardillo and Keith are under an exclusive overall deal at WBTV, they could no longer be active writers on the project once it moved to Amazon. Delaney was brought in to work with Zachary and Weiner. Cardillo and Keith remain executive producers (under their In Good Company banner).

Amen! And I say that as someone who has not even watched such movies so I cannot technically be tired of them.

I HAVE grown tired of reading continuous announcements and premises of such projects. :P
