Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon Sign With Range Media Partners

Television creators Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon have signed with Range Media Partners, according to Deadline, marking a new management move for the writing and producing duo. The pair are best known for their work on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which ran on ABC for seven seasons from 2013 to 2020. The new representation comes about six months after reports surfaced that Tancharoen and Whedon were developing a pilot based on Skyward, the first novel in Brandon Sanderson’s Cytoverse franchise. The project is being developed for Tomorrow Studios, though the report does not provide further details about its progress or a potential release date. Tancharoen and Whedon served as showrunners on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., a run that made it Marvel’s longest-running live-action television series. Their credits also include the cult-favorite musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, as well as work on Fox’s Dollhouse and Starz’s Spartacus. The move to Range does not mean the pair have left their existing representatives behind. Deadline reports that they continue to be represented by CAA and the law firm Myman Greenspan Fox Rosenberg Mobasser Younger & Light. The announcement is a professional update for two collaborators whose work has spanned network television, genre series and musical comedy.
