History

The company was established on October 4, 2005, when Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters left the long-running television series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit to sign an overall deal with Touchstone Television.^[1] Their first production, Reaper, aired on The CW from 2007 to 2009.^[2]

In 2009, the duo moved to 20th Century Fox Television, but the partnership was terminated in 2011.^[3] A subsequent partnership with CBS Television Studios was also short-lived.^[4] Neither of these resulted in any published material.

In 2013, they signed a deal with ABC Studios,^[5] working first on Agent Carter (2015–2016), then creating Kevin (Probably) Saves the World (2017–2018) and Emergence (2019–2020).

Starting in the 27th season of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Fazekas will return to the series as the showrunner.^[6] She will be the first woman to hold this position.^[6]
