Cirque du Soleil and 20th Century Fox Television announced a partnership Friday to develop prime-time television shows.
"Our goal with this partnership is not to televise our live performances, but rather create content in the primetime scripted arena that will elevate the genre by drawing from Cirque's creative vision," said Jacques Methe, president of Cirque du Soleil Media.
Fox Television's creative chief, Jonnie Davis, said they are looking for writers "who can tap into their world to create scripted series that are as distinctive and exciting as the world famous Cirque live events."
It was not mentioned when the series would air.
