Fox has picked up a drama pilot based on the Australian series “Sisters” that hails from Annie Weisman and Jason Katims.
In the untitled drama, only child Julia Beckley has her life turned upside down when it’s revealed that her father, a pioneering Nobel Prize-winning fertility doctor, used his own sperm to conceive dozens of children over the course of his career. Reeling from this explosive revelation, Julia discovers two new sisters — her former best friend and an ex-Olympic athlete. Against all odds, the women attempt to form an untraditional family and lean on each other as they grapple with their own identity crises.
The original series, produced Endemol Shine Australia, was created by Jonathan Gavin and Imogen Banks.
Weisman will write and executive produce the project. Katims, Banks, Jeni Mulein, and Sharon Levy will also executive produce. Leslye Headland will direct the pilot and executive produce. Universal Television...
