“WIGS,” THE NO. 1 CHANNEL FOR SCRIPTED DRAMA ON YOUTUBE, PICKS UP POPULAR SERIES “BLUE” AND “LAUREN” FOR SECOND SEASONS AND ANNOUNCES NEW RELATIONSHIP SERIES “PALOMA”
Julia Stiles Returns in Popular Series BLUE, Premiering with New Episodes Friday, March 15
New Season of Fan-Favorite LAUREN, Starring Troian Bellisario and Jennifer Beals, Plus New Series PALOMA, Written and Directed by Stiles, to Debut in Spring 2013
WIGS (www.watchwigs.com and www.youtube.com/wigs), the No. 1 channel for scripted drama on YouTube, announced today the return of two of its most acclaimed series, BLUE, starring Julia Stiles (“The Bourne Ultimatum”), and LAUREN, starring Troian Bellisario (“Pretty Little Liars”) and Jennifer Beals (“The L Word,” “Flashdance”). The channel also is announcing new series PALOMA, written and directed by Stiles, and starring Grace Gummer (“Gigantic,” “Margin Call”). (…)
New four-episode series PALOMA, also set to debut this spring, is written and directed by Stiles, marking her second WIGS project. PALOMA stars Gummer as a young woman dealing with the unpredictability of relationships, both in romance and in the workplace. The series also features Rhys Coiro (“Entourage”) and Garret Dillahunt (RAISING HOPE, “Looper”).
“We’re very excited about bringing Season Two of BLUE to the WIGS channel,” said Avnet. “Rodrigo’s work on BLUE with Julia Stiles is filled with surprises. LAUREN, starring Troian Bellasario and Jennifer Beals, again, digs much deeper into the characters and the impact this assault has on the lives of ‘Lauren’ and her fellow soldiers. Jay Rodan followed up on his WGA-award-nominated script with more powerful drama. I very much enjoyed having the opportunity to direct these screenplays with these actors.”Added Garcia, “We’re looking forward to hearing what fans think of the new installments of these series but are hoping to introduce them to new viewers as well. The inability for content to ‘become old’ is one of the qualities intrinsic to the platform that drew Julia Stiles to WIGS. As a writer, director and actress on the channel, she is a huge advocate for us and we’re truly blessed to have her amongst our talented cast and crew on both BLUE and PALOMA.”
“The consumer feedback has been inspiring, and we expect this season to be even more spectacular than the first,” said Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, Senior Vice President, Multi-Platform Programming at FOX. “We’re thrilled to be supporting Rodrigo Garcia and Jon Avnet as they continue to trailblaze with this important endeavor.”
