Exclusive: In her first U.S. TV starring vehicle, Salma Hayek Pinault is set to topline and executive produce a comedy series project executive produced and directed by Paul Feig. The comedy, from Imagine Television, is in negotiations at Amazon. I hear it is eying a pilot commitment to series.
Written by Patty Breen (HBO’s Divorce), the potential series takes place in London and is set in the world of international diplomacy, with Hayek Pinault in an ambassador-type role.
Hayek Pinault executive produces with her longtime producing partner Jose “Pepe” Tamez via her Ventanarosa Productions banner. Feig and Jessie Henderson executive produces via Feigco Entertainment alongside Imagine’s Brian Grazer and Francie Calfo.
Hayek Pinault, who was a TV and film star in her native Mexico before making a name for herself in Hollywood, has recurred on ABC’s dramedy Ugly Betty, which she executive produced, as well as on NBC’s 30 Rock.
