Julian Lennon Not Doing A Run Of the Mill Reality Show
Endemol Beyond USA, the digital arm of global TV production firm Endemol, has signed development deals with Michelle Phan, who runs the biggest beauty and makeup channel on YouTube, and musician-filmmaker-photographer Julian Lennon.
As part of the deal with Phan, Endemol Beyond will build out Phan’s FAWN (For All Women Network), a lifestyle-oriented multichannel network with shows about fashion, beauty, health, wellness and culture. FAWN will become Endemol Beyond’s lifestyle MCN, said Will Keenan, president of Endemol Beyond USA. “It’s a very big overall deal, multiplatform and global” and Endemol’s biggest ever to date with a YouTube creator, he said.
Julian Lennon, son of John Lennon, said he will develop several digital series with Endemol about “my digital life.” The yet-untitled projects will cover his recent documentary, “Through the Picture Window,” which is about “Everything Changes,” his fifth studio album that released last year, as well as his photography exhibitions.
“The opportunity I have (in working with Endemol Beyond) is that I have final approval,” Lennon said. While the series will include glimpses into his personal life, he said it will “not be a usual reality show.”
