Liz Heldens has signed a new multi-year overall deal with 20th Century Fox Television effective immediately.
News of the deal comes ahead of the midseason launch of the Fox series “The Passage,” based on the book trilogy by Justin Cronin on which Heldens is the writer and executive producer. The series focuses on Project Noah, a secret medical facility where scientists are experimenting with a dangerous virus that could lead to the cure for all disease, but also carries the potential to wipe out the human race. It premieres on Jan. 14.
Heldens’ new deal calls for her to continue to shepherd the priority project for the studio, 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, president of creative affairs at 20th TV.
