Transcript

00:00If she builds it, they will come. Our beloved fleabag Phoebe Waller-Bridge is

00:04setting up her own production house. Now that her award season domination is

00:08complete, Waller-Bridge has launched a UK-based TV and film banner called

00:12Wells Street Films. And since everything she touches turns to gold, I expect it

00:16will be nothing less than a huge success. The Emmy winner said in a statement

00:20about her new venture,

00:21This has been a lifelong dream, and to say I'm excited is an understatement. She

00:26continued,

00:26I can't wait to start making new work. In the words no one wanted me to put in my

00:30press release, let's f*** it up. The multi-hyphenate won Emmys, Golden Globes, and

00:35SAG Awards for her Amazon BBC comedy Fleabag, which ended after two hilarious

00:40seasons. Jenny Robbins, story producer on Fleabag season 2, and Charlotte McBriarty,

00:45production manager of last year's Fleabag stage show, have joined the company.

00:49Wall Street is expected to produce TV shows from her three-year deal with Amazon

00:53Studios and Amazon Prime that was signed in September. Outside of this deal, Waller-Bridge

00:58also created and executive produces BBC America's Killing Eve, which was recently

01:03renewed for a third season. She is also executive producing HBO's upcoming comedic thriller

01:09run, starring Merit Webber. And she did a rewrite of the script for the forthcoming

01:14James Bond movie, No Time to Die, because James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, asked her

01:19to. And even with all of her accolades, she is still generous enough to remember our needs

01:24for a character like the Hot Priest. So congrats and thank you, Phoebe. For more of Phoebe Waller-Bridge,
