Phoebe Robinson, known for her work on HBO's "2 Dope Queens" and the podcast of the same name, has signed a two-year first look deal with Sony Pictures Television. Under this agreement, Robinson will develop and produce scripted series for cable and streaming platforms through her production company, Tiny Reparations.
Sony Pictures Television’s EVP Comedy Development, Colin Davis, praised Robinson, stating, “Phoebe can truly do it all. She is an authentic, funny, and brilliant storyteller who brings a freshness and vision to anything she touches. We are proud to partner with her and champion her unique voice.”
Robinson expressed her excitement about the deal, humorously adding, “Ooh, chile, there are few things better than getting a new home – I’m registered at CB2, so somebody get me a nice duvet – and
I’m thrilled that Tiny Reparations is joining the Sony family. They’re making me feel all cute and special, but more importantly, they’re doing dope things and I can’t wait for us to collab on making TV dreams come true for myself and others!”
Robinson co-created and co-starred in "2 Dope Queens" alongside Jessica Williams. The acclaimed HBO comedy series, which premiered in February 2018, covered various topics like sex, romance, race, hair, living in New York, and more. The original podcast, airing between 2016 and 2018, featured a wide range of guests including Jon Hamm, Nick Kroll, LeVar Burton, Marc Maron, Michelle Buteau, and Michelle Obama.
