Charter has acquired the dark comedy series “E Is for Edie,” Variety has learned exclusively from sources.
The series begins when a single woman becomes the sole caregiver to her disabled sister. It is inspired by events in the life of series creator Jeanie Bergen, who will also executive produce the series. Kate Robin will serve as showrunner, with Abominable Picture’s Brittany Cope and Jonathan Stern also executive producing.
Bergen’s script for the series earned her one of five coveted spots in Aaron Sorkin’s Master Class on screenwriting. She previously wrote for the go90 series “Zac & Mia” and also worked on Tig Notaro’s Amazon series “One Mississippi.” She is repped by Verve, Mosaic and Gang, Tyre, Ramer & Brown.
