Australian Emmy Winner Craig Anderson To Showrun ‘WTFitness’ – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Australian Emmy winner Craig Anderson is to showrun the primary season of Charles Jazz Terrier’s Melbourne health comedy WTFitness.

Anderson has been signed up as a packaged principal director and showrunner of Purple Empire’s present, which isn’t but connected to a community.

Starring Kat Stewart (5 Bedrooms), Christopher Kirby (Iron Sky), Jonny Brugh (What We Do In The Shadows), Trevor Jamieson (Rabbit-Proof Fence) and Terrier (Legacies), the eight-part comedy is ready in an inner-city Melbourne health middle, following a mismatched forged as they confront the on a regular basis Dodgeball-esque trials and tribulations of working an unpopular health club and dealing with off towards rival Punch Health.

Anderson has gained Australian Emmys for Double the Fist and Black Comedy and just lately completed producing a behind-the-scenes documentary for ABC’s Indigenous Division.

“Other than different folks’s sweat, the health club is stuffed with deeply awkward interactions, cringeworthy workers and determined clientele – it’s completely begging to be became a comedy,” stated Anderson. “I’m excited to be working with a staff of each rising and well-established expertise which have a ardour and appreciation for thought of comedian narratives.”

Australian indie Purple Empire’s Amie Casey is producing with Terrier’s Fantome Bay Photos and U.S. gross sales outfit Natural Media Group. Steve Chicorel and Shari Hamrick-Grewal are exec producers.
