Starz has announced that Emmy winner and Golden Globe nominee Debra Messing (Will & Grace, Smash) will executive produce and star in the network’s new series in development East Wing.
East Wing is produced by Lionsgate and executive produced by Messing, Wentworth, Tuccillo, and 3 Arts Entertainment’s Howard Klein.
“Ali, Debra, and Liz are shepherding a witty and empowering series right in the wheelhouse of our STARZ premium platform.”
East Wing draws from the experiences of Ali Wentworth’s mother, who served as Social Secretary in the White House during Ronald Reagan’s presidency in the 1980s.
