Overview
- 20th Television and FX have put Wildwood into development with Lisa McGee attached as creator and executive producer, according to exclusive reporting.
- The project is described as a spiritual successor to Derry Girls set in Wildwood, New Jersey in the summer of 2000 and follows a group of Irish college women on a chaotic summer trip.
- Sources say the project drew a competitive pursuit led by Carolyn Cassidy and 20th Television’s development leadership with FX signing on as the network partner.
- No formal series order, casting announcements, or production schedule have been disclosed so the show's future availability remains unconfirmed.
- McGee’s strong track record — including Derry Girls’ major awards and her recent Netflix release How To Get To Heaven From Belfast — and her representation by CAA and United Agents help explain U.S. studio interest and the competitive clearance for the project.
