Romesh Ranganathan, the British comedian behind Showtime’s Just Another Immigrant, has struck a first-look script deal with Sky Studios.
The comedian and his production partner Benjamin Green, who run production company Ranga Bee, are developing new projects with the Comcast-backed broadcaster.
This comes after the launch of the second season of Sky comedy The Reluctant Landlord, a semi-autobiographical sitcom created by and starring Ranganathan, in which he inherits a pub that he doesn’t really want. The comedian has also developed Romesh Presents, a series of ten shorts for new and emerging comedy talent on Sky One, and is a regular panellist on Sky One’s A League of Their Own.
The development funding will allow Ranga Bee to attract talent to work on the projects, which will be exec produced by Jon Mountague, Director of Comedy at Sky Studios. Any projects out of the deal will be distributed by NBCUniversal Global Distribution.
