Netflix Grabs ‘All the Rage’ Dark Comedy From Liz Feldman, Kelly Hutchinson
The streamer has ordered a new series called All the Rage from Feldman and Kelly Hutchinson, long-time friends who also worked together on the Feldman-created Dead to Me and No Good Deed. Netflix has also extended its overall deal with Feldman, where she has been for the past six years.
Like Dead to Me and No Good Deed, All the Rage is a dark comedy. It will center on Emma and Eli, old friends who reconnect after a long period of estrangement “and find new purpose in taking down the man who tore them apart,” as the show’s logline puts it.
“We’re thrilled to tell this completely made-up story about revenge inspired by our very real friendship of 30 years,” Feldman and Hutchinson said in a statement. “Thank you to Netflix for being the best partners in the biz and, more importantly, for paying us to finally work through 30 years of neurosis and resentment.”
Added Tracey Pakosta, vp comedy series at Netflix, “We’re excited to continue our partnership with Liz and bring more of her distinct, brilliant vision to audiences worldwide. Her decades-long friendship with Kelly fuels their unique and sharp creative chemistry, which they showcased during their collaboration on Dead to Me. We’re thrilled to have them join forces again for All the Rage, which is sure to blend dark comedy and emotional depth like only Liz and Kelly can.”
Feldman and Hutchinson will executive produce All the Rage with Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum of Gloria Sanchez Productions and Christie Smith of Rise Management.
Hutchinson is repped by UTA, SEL Media Group and Goodman Genow. Ferrell is repped by UTA, Mosaic and Jackoway Austen. Elbaum is also with UTA.
