Lionsgate Television is welcoming back ‘Mrs America’ creator and showrunner Dahvi Waller, who previously served as a writer and producer on Liongate’s popular television series Mad Men, via a multi-year deal.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Waller will create and develop new projects under the multiple-year overall deal.
“I’m thrilled to be back in business with the Lionsgate family. They’re wonderful people and they make wonderful television. I am excited for the sophisticated, boundary-pushing and most importantly, entertaining shows we’re going to create together,” Waller said.
Irene Marquette has been tapped to serve as head of development at Waller’s newly formed production company, Federal Engineering.
“Dahvi is an exceptional talent and one of the best writer-producers in the business. We’re thrilled to work with Federal Engineering and re-team with Dahvi, who has a longstanding relationship with Lionsgate dating back to Mad Men,” said Scott Herbst, head of scripted development and exec vp at Lionsgate TV.
