Fazekas & Butters is a television production company founded on October 4, 2005, by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters.
History[edit]
The company was established on October 4, 2005, when Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters left the long-running television series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit to sign an overall deal with Touchstone Television.[1] Their first production, Reaper, aired on The CW from 2007 to 2009.[2]
In 2009, the duo moved to 20th Century Fox Television, but the partnership was terminated in 2011.[3] A subsequent partnership with CBS Television Studios was also short-lived.[4] Neither of these resulted in any published material.
In 2013, they signed a deal with ABC Studios,[5] working first on Agent Carter (2015–2016), then creating Kevin (Probably) Saves the World (2017–2018) and Emergence (2019–2020).
