Exclusive: Writer Lindsay Grossman and TV development executive Madison Jones have launched a new list of the best unproduced romance TV pilots and screenplays, calling it The Love List. They expect to make it an annual event.
The two are running the list the same way The Black List started, using the recommendations of studio and production company execs. If you’ve read a great romance-centered pilot or screenplay and you’re a studio or production company exec, you can email your submissions for consideration via lovelistsubmissions@gmail.com before January 31 at midnight Pt.
Grossman and Jones met in 2020 and bonded over their mutual love for romance stories both in book form and on the screen. They were eager to see more romance make its way to film and television.
“Romance keeps the lights on in publishing, but the genre remains undervalued in the entertainment industry,” Grossman told Deadline in an exclusive statement.

Disney+ has given audiences all manner of content, both original and classic, since the streaming service debuted in November 2019. Boasting over 28 million subscribers and hours of content, it’s often hard to keep track of what’s new on the service. This is especially pertinent with regards to their original content. Disney+ debuted with less than a handful of original series, but shows like “The Mandalorian,” “High School Musical: The Musical – The Series” and “Encore!” have garnered devout audiences and the hope is that will continue through 2020. Here’s a look at every new original series set to premiere in 2020 on Disney+.

Disney has shifted its upcoming “Love, Victor” project to Hulu due to the series’ mature themes, a source close to production told IndieWire. The show, which will focus on a gay high school student’s self-discovery and challenging home life, was originally expected to stream on Disney+, but will now premiere on Hulu in July.
Variety reported that the series’ move to Hulu was due to alcohol use and themes of sexual exploration, which wouldn’t have fit with the family-friendly focus of Disney+. That said, a source close to production told IndieWire that the series’ move to Hulu was due to “general sexual exploration” and stressed that the show’s homosexual content had no impact on the decision. Other factors in the move included underage alcohol consumption and the parent characters’ marital issues, the source told IndieWire.
“Love, Victor” would’ve been the first Disney+ series that primarily focuses on a gay protagonist.

Director Sam Mendes won the top prize at the 72nd annual Directors Guild of America Awards for “1917,” solidifying the World War I drama as the film to beat at the Academy Awards.
“I was fortunate enough to win this award two decades ago,” Mendes said in his acceptance speech, referencing his DGA Awards win for 1999’s “American Beauty.” “And I think if I’m honest with myself, I didn’t feel ultimately like I really knew what I was doing. I feel a little bit more like I do now.”
Mendes also used his speech to praise his fellow nominees — Bong Joon Ho for “Parasite,” Martin Scorsese for “The Irishman,” Quentin Tarantino for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and Taika Waititi for “Jojo Rabbit” — and laud the chance to get to know them better.

It was a strange morning for the Director’s Guild of America (DGA) Monday, as the organization announced some — but not all — of the TV nominations for the 2020 DGA Awards.
A note included in the official nomination statement explained that the nods for the Comedy Series, Dramatic Series, and Variety/Talk/News/Sports — Specials categories will be announced on Friday, rather than today as scheduled, due to an error related to the organization’s newly implemented electronic entry submissions process. The categories in question require a re-vote, the DGA explained. Variety reported last week that the DGA sent members an email stating that “Transparent” creator Jill Soloway had been mistakenly omitted from the comedy series ballot for her direction of “Transparent Musicale Finale,” and advising members to recast their vote in the category if they so chose.
Still, there were plenty of accolades to go around in the official announcement,...

FX’s “Fosse/Verdon” dominated the first round of Directors Guild of America TV nominations, landing three in the TV movie/limited series — for directors Jessica Yu, Minkie Spiro and Thomas Kail.
Yu, Spiro and Kail will face off against “Chernobyl” director Johan Renck, who won the Emmy for that HBO limited series in September. Also up for the award are “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie” director Vince Gilligan and “When They See Us” director Ava DuVernay, both for Netflix projects.
But the big news Monday was the DGA’s decision to hold back on revealing nominations in other key categories, including drama and comedy. The org said nomination announcements for the Comedy Series, Dramatic Series and Variety/Talk/News/Sports – Specials categories will be announced on Friday, Jan. 10 “due to a re-vote related to a newly implemented electronic entry submissions process.”
