Amy Poehler’s Paper Kite Productions Has Now Sold 3 Pilots This Season
(via Deadline)
It might just get to the point where you’ll hear Amy Poehler’s name in the executive producer side of things as much as you would with sitcom power brokers Bill Lawrence or Chuck Lorre.
She’s already got Broad City and Difficult People on the resume of her Paper Kite Productions and two recent pilot commitments bump her up to three pilots total for Paper Kite this pilot season alone. Jordan Roter and Nisha Ganatra have put pilot commitments under the Paper Kite banner, respectively, for Aunt Jill at ABC and Pre-Madonna at NBC. Roter’s Aunt Jill will star Mo Collins, who many will remember as Parks and Recreation’s Joan Callamezzo.
This is on top of her still being on screen and having her online brand Smart Girls. If you already though Poehler was a force to be reckoned with, take note that she’s now just going ahead and reckoning with the biz.
