Your Complete Guide to Pilots and Straight-to-Series orders
Written by Niki Schwartz-Wright (Pivoting) and to be directed by Natalia Anderson (Maggie), Worst House On the Block has a Beverly Hillbillies vibe to it. In the show, when a poor family from South Texas inherits the worst house on the block in a chic LA neighborhood, they cause quite a stir amongst their new neighbors. Tensions may flare, but ultimately, we’ll watch as three different families, with nothing in common but their zip code and how overwhelmed they feel by the sheer number of Love Island episodes there are to watch, start to find common ground and slowly-but-surely, friendship.
Schwartz-Wright and Anderson executive produce with 3 Arts’ Oly Obst.
Most recently, Schwartz-Wright served as co-executive producer on Fox’s comedy series Pivoting. Before that, she was a co-executive producer on the NBC comedy series Abby’s. She also did stints on ABC comedy series Speechless, Fox’s The Grinder, ABC’s The Goldbergs, NBC’s The Office and MTV’s Awkward. She is repped by UTA, 3 Arts and attorney Jared Levine of Morris Barnes.
Anderson’s episodic directing credits include Maggie (Hulu), Life In Pieces (CBS), This Country (Fox), black-ish (ABC), Brews Brothers (Netflix), Grown-ish (Freeform) and Pitch Perfect (Peacock). She is repped by WME.
