“We are building something very special here in Kentucky, where we are the largest film and TV company in the state and growing exponentially,” says Wrigley’s CEO Joe Livecchi. “Our commitment to unscripted original development and production comes when many in our industry are unfortunately shrinking their teams. On top of that, Kentucky’s 30-35% tax rebate that we cash flow upfront to preferred partners along with our state-of-the-art facilities in Lexington are a complete production gamechanger.”
Brietenbach added, “We are thrilled to bring on such a talented and experienced trio of unscripted executives, who have collectively spent decades developing and producing a wide array of hit series: Sara, who has served as a senior network exec and brings years of true crime experience; Cyndi, who worked as both a buyer and seller, and has an eye for new social experiment and unscripted entertainment formats; and Don, who is one the most respected access-driven crime producers working today. They join our established team at Wrigley Media that’s already produced hundreds of hours of TV and will surely help us expand upon that success going forward.”
