What's Happening?
Emmy-winning writer Terence Winter and Oscar-nominated producer Rachel Winter are collaborating with Bizaar Studios to develop an adult animated series titled 'Nouvelle'. The series is inspired by Jacob Tomsky's memoir 'Heads in Beds' and will explore
the lives of staff, guests, and the enigmatic owner of a luxury hotel in New York. The pilot episode begins with a politician's death following an encounter with a sex worker, unraveling a series of secrets. Bizaar Studios, backed by notable figures like George R.R. Martin and Jimmy Iovine, is supporting the project, although no distribution outlet has been attached yet.
