Pepper Dennis creators sign three-year deal with 20th
Television

Gay TV creator Aaron Harberts and his writing-producing partner, Gretchen Berg, have signed a three-year overall deal with 20th Century Fox Television. Their latest show, Pepper Dennis, recently premiered on the WB and is awaiting news regarding pickup by the CW, the network that will combine the WB and UPN. The new deal for the duo--who wrote the feature film Valentine and wrote for such TV series as Wonderfalls, North Shore, and John Doe--will have them developing new projects for 20th TV. "When we find people we want to work with, we try to stick with them," Harberts told The Hollywood Reporter. "They've been very supportive, and they treat us right. They are wonderful nurturers and protectors." (The Advocate)
