Marriage Murder Original Series WEDDING SEASON Ordered by Disney+ for Star
A new original series has been ordered by Disney+ for Star, their international home for grownup drama. The eight-part marriage murder series is titled Wedding Season, and it “centers on Katie, a beautiful bride who we meet on her wedding day surrounded by the dead bodies of her new husband and every member of his family. The police think Katie’s lover Stefan did it. Stefan thinks Katie did it. Katie thinks her ex-husband did it. No one knows what the truth is.”
The series is penned by Oliver Lyttelton, the breakout writer behind BBC Studios’ upcoming short-form scripted series Cheaters. Wedding Season will be executive produced by Chris Carey, Laurence Bowen, Toby Bruce for Dancing Ledge, while Lilly Burns, Brooke Posche, and Tony Hernandez serve as executive producers for Jax Media. Lyttelton is also an executive producer. George Kane (Timewasters) is the director.
Johanna Devereaux, Disney’s director of scripted content, EMEA, said of the series:
“When we first read Oli’s brilliant scripts for Wedding Season we laughed out loud… and we were desperate to find out what happened next. It’s an addictive, genre-defying series packed with twists and turns.”
Wedding Season is the 15th Disney+ original announced out of Europe. The aim is to get to 50 projects by 2024.
