Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato lift the lid on their development process - sharing pitches, sizzles, and the challenges of turning bold ideas into commissioned series.
Go behind the scenes with Emmy-winning, World of Wonder producers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (From The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Party Monster, RuPaul’s Drag Race) as they offer a rare look into the development of their upcoming original series. In this open and practical session, they’ll walk us through how ideas take shape—sharing sizzles, pitch materials, and honest insight into the unpredictable journey from concept to greenlight.
From navigating platforms and shifting audience tastes to deciding what makes a story viable, this is a candid exploration of the development process from two of the most seasoned voices in non-fiction TV. While most producers guard this process closely, Fenton and Randy believe today’s climate calls for cooperation, not competition—and they’re here to share what they’ve learned.
