Exclusive: Peacock is headed to Ancient Egypt with Cleo, a one-hour dramedy in development from writer Jessica Runck (Man With A Plan), Jane the Virgin developer/showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman, Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment, TrillTV and CBS Studios, where Urman is under an overall deal.
Written by Runck, with Urman serving as as showrunner, Cleo revolves around Cleopatra, an overqualified young woman who is forced to hide her intelligence behind make-up, clothes and men to earn the respect she needs to hang on to her job: being queen of Egypt. A dramatic comedy set in ancient Egypt that proves not much has changed in two thousand years, Cleo shares the feminist take of Urman’s Peabody Award-winning Jane the Virgin.
Runck and Urman executive produce with Kaplan and Brian Morewitz for Kapital Entertainment, Wendi Trilling for TrillTV, along with Joanna Klein and Karen Forman. CBS Studios is the studio.
