Superstore Star Lauren Ash Signs Development Deal with NBCUniversal; Jenna Dewan Joins New CBS Dance Series

Lauren Ash

NBCUniversal has entered into an overall talent and development deal with Lauren Ash, co-star of critically acclaimed NBC comedy Superstore, which recently completed its sixth and final season. Under the terms of the deal, Ash will collaborate exclusively with NBCU Television and Streaming to find projects on the company's entertainment platforms, which include NBC, Bravo, E!, Oxygen, SYFY, Universal Kids, USA and Peacock. The agreement includes a commitment with Universal Television for Ash to write a half hour comedy pilot. Ash starred as Dina in the hit comedy Superstore for six seasons on NBC. She also voiced Scorpia on the Netflix original animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power for its five seasons. Last October, she launched a podcast called True Crime and Cocktails with her cousin Christy Oxborrow, which was named the best true-crime podcast of 2020 by Women's Health magazine. Ash previously co-starred with Rebel Wilson on ABC's Super Fun Night, which won the People's Choice Award for Best New Comedy Series and she played one of the Hortenses on Comedy Central's Another Period.


Jenna Dewan

Dancer, actress, author and producer Jenna Dewan (World of Dance, The Resident, Witches of East End) will join the judges panel for Come Dance with Me, the new CBS family dance competition show. From executive producers LL COOL J and Chris O'Donnell, the series features exceptionally talented young dancers from across the country who invite one inspirational, and untrained, family member or other adult who has supported their dance dreams, to become their dance partner for a chance to strut their stuff for a grand prize. Additional cast information and show details will be announced in the coming months. The series is produced by CBS Studios and 3 Ball Productions.
