EXCLUSIVE: Writer-director-producer Nick Stoller and producing partner Conor Welch have renewed the overall deal with Sony Pictures Television for their Stoller Global Solutions company.
Under the new pact, Stoller has teamed with recent Oscar winner Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) on Sweetness. Fennell wrote on spec and is set to direct the female-driven anthology project, which will be shopped by Stoller Global Solutions and Sony Television.
Stoller set up shot at SPT three years ago when he brought on Conor Welch as TV executive and producing partner under the Stoller Global Solutions banner. Stoller will next direct the studio’s series Platonic at Apple TV+, which he co-created and will co-showrun alongside his wife, Francesca Delbanco. It stars Seth Rogn and Rose Byrne.
