The company’s current slate includes the upcoming ninth season of the Emmy-winning Netflix series “Queer Eye,” a Roku original comedy series starring Charlie Puth, and the E! series “OMG Fashun” starring Julia Fox.
“OMG Fashun” will premiere on May 6 with two back-to-back episodes. In the series, three contestants are challenged to create “create a boundary-breaking look born of Fox’s beautifully bold brain using materials and techniques that would make fashion’s so-called gatekeepers squirm,” per the official series description from E!. Fox, Law Roach and a rotating expert guest judge will then select a winner who received a $10,000 cash prize and gets their garment modeled by Fox.
Scout Productions has also worked on projects with stars like Amy Poehler and Kristen Stewart. They previously worked with Roach on the Max competition series “Legendary.”
