HBO is developing a comedy set in the world of a sugar baby – where an older person dates a younger person with the promise of money and gifts.
Sugar comes from Canadian filmmaker Emma Seligman and Adam McKay and his Hyperobject Industries production company.
The half-hour project follows a young woman in New York who balances her neurotic Jewish family with her life as a college sugar baby.
It is timely given the news about a certain Congressman from a certain southern state.
Seligman will write and direct the pilot and will exec produce alongside McKay and Hyperobject Industries’ Betsy Koch. Shiva Baby producers Lizzie Shapiro, Kieran Altman, and Katie Schiller will co-produce.
Seligman is behind Shiva Baby, which was a SXSW short film that she adapted into a feature film starring Rachel Sennott, Polly Draper, Dianna Agron, Molly Gordon, Fred Melamed and Danny Deferrari. The film was released by Utopia on April.
