According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ariana Madix (City of Demons, Buying Back My Daughter) is set to star in a new sci-fi series at Peacock. Madix will star in and executive produce Future Housewives along with Seth MacFarlane (A Million Ways to Die in the West, American Dad!). Madix will be playing “young, starry-eyed outsider” in the series.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, the official logline for the series is as follows: “In the decadent asteroid colony of New Beverly Hills, wealthy socialites juggle bioengineered beauty regimens, ruthless rivalries and interplanetary scandals. But when a young, starry-eyed outsider unexpectedly upends their glamorous world, it exposes just how far they’ve drifted out of touch in a society evolving beyond superficiality in this sharply satirical yet surprisingly heartfelt reinvention of reality TV.”
The Hollywood Reporter reports Brannon Braga (Books of Blood, Salem) and Madix will executive produce with MacFarlane and Erica Huggins (In the Heart of the Sea, The Spy Who Dumped Me) for Fuzzy Door Productions. Jaron Lanier (The Third Wave, Three Seasons) is a co-executive producer, and Fuzzy Door’s Rachel Hargreaves-Heald (The Orville, The Attic Door) and Emily Kochman (The Nesting Doll) are overseeing the project. Universal Global Television is the studio. Gersh, Venture Entertainment Partners and Hansen Jacobson rep Madix. WME reps Braga.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Madix’s acting credits include Just in Time and Chicago on Broadway and guest roles on NBC’s St. Denis Medical and ABC’s Will Trent. The series blends science fiction. Braga is known for working in genres like this, having worked on several Star Trek series and movies, The Orville and ABC’s Flashforward. Braga is also known for The Next Generation, Voyager, and Enterprise. The series already has a fascinating mix of talent between Madix, MacFarlane and Braga
The rest of the cast and production time have yet to be announced.
