Jennifer Lopez To Produce Shows For Quibi Shortform Service

THR is reporting that Jennifer Lopez will be joining Scooter Braun to produce shows for Quibi shortform service.

According to the media house, this was announced during a session at South by Southwest in Austin on Friday, where the chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg said shows from Jennifer Lopez, Scooter Braun and Spanish-language broadcast Telemundo are in development for the service.

“Lopez’s show will be called Thanks a Million . Lopez and nine others will each choose an influential person from their early lives and award them $100,000 each — with the understanding that that person will then pass on $50,000 to someone similar in their own lives. The second recipient will then give $25,000 to someone else, and so on. The series was created and will be produced by B17 Entertainment, led by Rhett Bachner and Brien Meagher,” the report added.

Also Braun will produce and serve as a judge for a music competition series, although Katzenberg didn’t offer many details but said the show would be “unique and differentiated” from other shows in the space.
