Liz Heldens, the writer behind 20th Century Fox TV’s anticipated midseason drama series The Passage, has signed a new multi-year overall deal with the studio. Under the exclusive pact, which is effective immediately, Heldens will continue to shepherd the priority project for 20th, as well as develop new television projects.
“Liz Heldens is one of the great character-based dramatic writers working today, and getting a new overall for her exclusive services was a huge priority for Dana Walden and me,” said Jonnie Davis, Tcftv president of Creative Affairs. “She is creating perhaps the biggest show of the year for us and for Fox in The Passage, an exciting sci fi thriller based on the bestselling books that has an incredibly compelling and emotional relationship at its core. She’s knocked this project out of the park in every way and we can’t wait for audiences to see it.
