The Creative Journey of Jenni Konner: A Disney Television Story
In a thrilling development, Jenni Konner, the talented mind behind several acclaimed series, has extended her partnership with 20th Television, a division of Disney Television Studios. This move solidifies Konner's position as a key player in the Disney family, with an exciting future ahead.
But here's where it gets intriguing: Konner is currently working on two highly anticipated series under the 20th TV banner. She serves as co-showrunner and executive producer alongside Bruce Eric Kaplan on the hilarious Netflix comedy, 'Nobody Wants This'. This series, created by Erin Foster, has already been renewed for a third season, a testament to its popularity.
And this is the part most people miss: Konner's involvement doesn't stop there. She's also an executive producer and director on another critically acclaimed comedy series, 'Deli Boys', streaming on Hulu. This show, which returns for its second season later this year, has been a hit with audiences and critics alike.
Under her new agreement, Konner will continue to showcase her diverse talents, writing, developing, directing, and producing series for both traditional networks and streaming platforms. Her focus will primarily be on Disney Entertainment Television, where she has several projects in various stages of development through her production company, Jenni Konner Productions.
Konner expressed her gratitude, saying, "I feel incredibly fortunate to be entering my seventh year with the Disney family. What I adore about 20th is their hands-on approach and unwavering support. They are true collaborators, and my partner Nora Silver and I are thrilled with what we've achieved together. We can't wait to see what new stories we'll create next. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue working with the talented team at Disney, including Dana Walden, Karey Burke, Eric Schrier, Jane Francis, and Carolyn Cassidy."
Konner's journey with Disney began in 2019 when she signed an overall deal with Fox 21 TV Studios, then part of Disney Television Studios. Since then, she has transitioned to 20th TV, and her portfolio has expanded to include not just 'Deli Boys' but also Hulu's 'Welcome To Chippendales' and Freeform's 'Single Drunk Female'.
Represented by CAA and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Konner's career is on an upward trajectory. With her renewed deal, the future looks bright for this talented creator and her exciting projects.
