EXCLUSIVE: BET has signed a first-look non-scripted deal and a second-look scripted deal with Mary J. Blige and her production company, Blue Butterfly.
In addition to her partnership with BET, Blue Butterfly has a first-look scripted TV deal with Lionsgate Television
The first project from her first-look deal with BET is the unscripted series The Wine Down, a talk show hosted by Blige currently in production. The Wine Down “will bring together the hottest, most outspoken, highly sought-after people in entertainment, sports, social media, and politics” for “raw, provocative, insightful, and real conversations” over wine. Blige has her own wine label, Sun Goddess, with Italian winemaker Marco Fantinel which launched in 2020. Guests will be announced at a later date.
“BET has been one of my biggest supporters throughout my career,” said the multihyphenate in a statement. “Being able to now create together, for them to be so supportive of my vision for the type of content I will create, is something I am grateful and excited for. We already have multiple projects in the works and there is much more to come.”
Blue Butterfly Productions is a film, TV, and digital content company founded in 2019. Through the banner, she is expanding her career of telling stories through music, to creating diverse stories and narratives for all audiences on film.
Blige, alongside her partners Ashaunna Ayars and Nicole Jackson, recently executive produced her documentary with Amazon Studios, Mary J. Blige’s My Life. They also launched the inaugural sold-out “Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit” in May.
