Ingrid Jungermann To Adapt Her Web Series ‘F To 7th’ As Comedy For Showtime
Ingrid Jungermann, whose first feature, Women Who Kill, just premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and won a best screenplay juried award, is heading to television. Showtime has put in development F To 7th, a half-hour comedy based on Jungermann’s popular web series of the same name.
Jungermann will write the adaptation and executive produce alongside Wet Hot American Summer co-creator Michael Showalter, who appeared on the web series, as well as director Jamie Babbit (But I’m A Cheerleader), Portlandia co-executive producer Karey Dornetto, and Principato-Young’s Peter Principato (Flaked).
F To 7th chronicles the female descent into pre-middle age in a world where sexuality and gender have left old-fashioned lesbianism behind. Jungermann created and starred in the web series, which ran for two seasons, but is not attached to act in the TV version.
Jungermann earned a WGA nomination for F To 7th, which featured Amy Sedaris, Showalter, Gaby Hoffmann, Olympia Dukakis and Janeane Garofalo. Here is a trailer:
Jungermann co-created her first web series, The Slope, with Desiree Akhavan while they were both at NYU Graduate Film School. She followed up with the 2013 F To 7th and her featured debut, Women Who Kill, which she wrote, directed and stars in. The indie, about two female crime podcasters (and former couple) investigating a suspected serial killer, premiered at Tribeca last week and just won Best Screenplay in a U.S. Narrative Feature Film. “This unique and deftly hilarious tale told in Brooklyn is from a fresh voice and a true original,” the jury wrote in their comment.
Jungermann is repped by Principato-Young and Felker Toczek. Showalter is with UTA, Principato-Young and Stone Genow. Dornetto is with UTA and Kaplan/Perrone. Babbit is with UTA and 3 Arts.
