Nickelodeon Gets Norman Lear Project; 20th Anniversary Marathon of Sex and the City on E!
Nickelodeon announced the development of a new animated project, Man of the House (working title), from Norman Lear's ACT III Productions. With creative concept by Colombian-American writer and illustrator Michael Molina (Trivia Night), Man of the House follows 11-year-old José as he helps his mother Maria watch over his two younger siblings, Maria Juliana (Maju) and Diego, while trying to form a hip-hop group with his quirky classmate and neighbor, Wilbur, that lives downstairs. Lear (All in the Family, The Jeffersons) and Brent Miller (One Day at a Time) will serve as executive producers.
The development of Norman Lear's project will be overseen by Claudia Spinelli, who has been promoted to the role of Vice President, Animation Development. Formerly Vice President of Current Series, Spinelli will oversee the development pipeline of all new animated content, while identifying potential creators, showrunners, writers and directors. She will also work closely with Nickelodeon's talent relations department and the animation community to scout new talent for animation development.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary since the debut of Sex and the City, E! will honor the divine occasion with a three-day "binge-a-thon" featuring every season and every episode ever coinciding with National Best Friend Day, beginning Friday, June 8, 2018. Kicking things off at 7pm ET/PT, E! News will have a special 30-minute Sex and the City themed episode hosted by Erin Lim and Carissa Culiner featuring flashbacks, memorable fashion and OMG moments of the iconic series that is still known as one of the pop culture emblems of the 21st century. The 94-episode marathon featuring Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) will begin Friday, June 8, 2018 at 7:30pm ET/PT and conclude Sunday, June 10th at 7pm ET/PT.
