Starring lesbian comedian Sandra Bernhard, Olivia D’Abo (The Wonder years) and Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers), “secs & EXECS” is set at Kathletics, a women’s wear comedy owned by Bernhard’s character, Kath Fairchild. The series follows four bosses and their assistants, shifting POV’s between the two, very diverse sets of co-workers.
The show features a large and diverse cast including Natalie Dreyfuss (Rita Rocks), Bayne Gibby (Enlightened), Parvesh Cheena (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Miguel Pinzon (Mystery Girls), Travina Springer (Valentine’s Day), Matthew Smith (America’s Next Top Model), and Daniela Bobadilla (Anger Management).
The show also marks Sandra Bernhard’s reunion with “Roseanne” writers who penned the infamous “lesbian kiss episode”, which they were nominated for their second WGA award for Best Writing.
secs & EXECS was co-created and co-written by the veteran writing/producing team of James Berg and Stan Zimmerman (“The Golden Girls”, “Gilmore Girls” and both “Brady Bunch” films, the Lifetime sitcom “Rita Rocks”, and “Roseanne”).
Zimmerman directed all 6 webisodes.
“Stan and James have been part of such iconic tv series and their writing for women is so smart and funny that I had to collaborate with them again.”, Christin Baker, President of tellofilms.
