Joe Otterson TV Reporter Liz Garbus and Dan Cogan’s Story Syndicate production company is launching its own scripted film and television division, Variety has learned exclusively.
The new division will be headed up by Nellie Reed, who is joining Story Syndicate from Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson’s Color Force.
In addition, Story Syndicate has signed a first-look deal with Tomorrow Studios for its scripted television projects. Reed will work out of Tomorrow Studios’ Los Angeles offices. “Dan and Liz are incredible storytellers whose work we have admired for years — what they have accomplished in the non-fiction space is undeniable,” said Tomorrow Studios founder and CEO Marty Adelstein and partner and president Becky Clements. “We are thrilled to be working with them and Nellie to further expand their footprint in scripted TV with the kind of culturally relevant, character-driven storytelling for which they are already known.” Garbus and Cogan originally founded Story Syndicate in 2019.
To date, the company has focused on the documentary space. Their recent projects include docuseries like “Harry & Meghan” at Netflix, “Last Call” at HBO, and “Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence” at Hulu.
