Fremantle Strikes Deal With ‘Daddy Issues’ Producer Fudge Park
deadline.comFremantle is getting into business with Fudge Park, the indie behind Aimee Lou Wood’s BBC comedy Daddy Issues. The pair have struck a first look and development deal, which will see Fremantle become the primary home for all of Fudge Park’s upcoming scripted projects.
The UK indie will also work closely with Fremantle’s global drama and International sales divisions to help develop its drama and comedy slate.
Fudge Park’s latest is Daddy Issues, which is sold by Fremantle and was recently re-upped for a Season 2. Starring Sex Education breakout Wood and David Morrissey and created by Danielle Ward (Brassic), Daddy Issues follows Stockport-based Gemma (Wood), who discovers she’s pregnant after a random hook-up.
The show is the top-rated BBC Three comedy since the channel’s 2021 relaunch, according to the national broadcaster. Fudge Park was founded a decade ago by The Inbetweeners creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris.
