Audrina Patridge, Seth Meyers in at MTV
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - MTV announced a new development slate Tuesday that includes projects from such auspices as Seth Meyers, Jamie Foxx and the son of DreamWorks honcho Jeffrey Katzenberg.
Additionally, the cable network has handed a pilot order to Mark Burnett's docusoap reality project starring former "Hills" co-star Audrina Patridge.
The as-yet-untitled Patridge pilot represents a potential second life for "The Hills" franchise, whose flagship series had a casting shake-up with the departure of lead Lauren Conrad.
The order also continues MTV's relationship with Burnett, who produced the network's Movie Awards earlier this month.
MTV's new series in development include a reinvention of 1980s movie "Teen Wolf"; an animated program from Meyers called "The Awesomes," about a superhero who battles paparazzi; "Warren the Ape," a celebrity comeback reality show but with puppets; "Patito Feo," based on an award-winning teen drama from Argentina; "Hard Times," a coming-of-age comedy co-created by David Katzenberg that centers on a unpopular 15-year-old; and an untitled sketch comedy show from Foxx.
