IN THE NEWS

Shonda Rhimes, Common and Norman Lear have joined forces as executive producers on America Divided, a documentary series ordered by EPIX. Created by Solly Granatstein, Lucian Read and Richard Rowley, each episode will focus on celebrities exploring inequality in the context of their own lives. To date, America Ferrera, Jesse William, Zach Galifianakis, Amy Poehler and Peter Sarsgaard are scheduled to appear. “Our aim is to expose the damage extreme inequality inflicts on all Americans, reveal its systemic causes, and celebrate real-world heroes fighting for solutions,” said the show’s creators.

#NoBrainer: Spike TV renewed Lip Sync Battle for season three. “Lip Sync Battle is a multiplatform pop-culture phenomenon that has played an integral role in delivering a new and broader audience to Spike,” said Kevin Kay, net president, of Spike’s most-watched original series ever. The new season, taping later this year, will consist of 20 half-hour episodes.

Rob Lowe‘s brother, Chad Lowe, is set to direct an upcoming episode of the elder Lowe’s FOX series, The Grinder. It’s not about nepotism – Chad, who stars on Pretty Little Liars, frequently directs his Freeform series as well as FOX‘s Bones.

MTV has tapped Casey Patterson (Lip Sync Battle, A Very Murray Christmas, Taraji and Terrence’s White Hot Holidays) to exec produce the 2016 MTV Movie Awards. Ceremony airs Sunday, April 10 at 9p.

The first day of NATPE in Miami Beach was cool outside, but there was plenty of heat inside – specifically at the expanded Reality conference track at the Eden Roc Hotel. Legacy producers from Bunim/Murray Productions,Magical Elves, and The Amazing Race parsed the good and the bad about producing reality content for the digital format. Top of mind were best practices for working with YouTube talent, who are much more selective about what they’ll promote and how, the rushing wave of distribution outlets (hello, Instagram and go90) and whether Facebook video will damage YouTube’s dominance. Tomorrow’s agenda features Keeping up with the Kardashians’ Kris Jenner,The Affair showrunner Sarah Treem, and Chobani Chief Marketing and Brand Officer Peter McGuinness. Stay tuned….
