Spec Script Deal: “Bad Dog”

Lionsgate acquires comedy spec script “Bad Dog” written by Jeff Bushell. From Deadline:

The plot follows Bub, Satan’s favorite hound, who is booted out of hell by a jealous rival and mistakenly adopted by a single dad and his two kids. Despite his bad ways, Bub soon begins to embrace his goodness and falls in love with the family. When Satan wants his dog back and Bub refuses, he must protect his new family from hell’s fury.

Bushell is repped by Paradigm and Hollander Entertainment. For anyone wondering how the deal happened during the WGA-ATA standoff, Deadline reports “the deal was completed prior to the expiration of the franchise agreement between the WGA and ATA.”

By my count, this is the 14th spec script deal in 2019.

There were 18 spec script deals year-to-date in 2018.
