Time Studios Developing Family Drama Series Based on Historic New York Deli RUSS & DAUGHTERS
Time Studios has announced that they are developing a family drama series based on the family behind the historic New York deli turned iconic New York culinary brand, Russ & Daughters. The scripted series will examine its history, and the family behind it.
The project will be a first for Time Studios under its newly inked first-look deal with producer Kim Rozenfeld, who formerly served as Head of Nonfiction Development and Head of Current Programming at Apple TV+, and his Half Full Studios. The producers are currently looking for writers to help craft the story.
“Russ & Daughters is a historic deli opened by Joel Russ on New York’s Lower East Side in 1914. Today, it remains a culinary icon, world-famous for providing the highest quality, when it comes to smoked fish, caviar, bagels, bialys, babka and other Jewish delicacies. The original shop on East Houston Street is enshrined as a New York treasure and reflects four generations of the Russ family’s dedication to excellence, history and tradition. It is also the first known American business with ‘& Daughters’ in its name.”
