Fox Entertainment’s content development accelerator SideCar, launched in February and headed by Gail Berman, has set its executive team. The group includes some of Berman’s colleagues from her Fox-based The Jackal Group as well as auspices including The Walking Dead‘s Valhalla Entertainment and Fox’s Animation Domination High-Def Studios.
Sidcar will develop scripted and unscripted projects, identifying and incubating programming for both Fox’s broadcast network and third-party platforms. Fox Entertainment will retain ownership of all series that originate under the banner.
It looks to be a key cog in Fox Network’s strategy for finding alternatives after its sister studio, 20th Century Fox TV, moved to Disney in the 21st Century Fox sale. When the unit was unveiled in February, it marked the first major business move since Charlie Collier was brought in as Fox Entertainment CEO with a mandate to lead the company with a start-up mentality.

Gail Berman has set her executive team for Fox Entertainment’s Sidecar, including four development executives and two members of the business and legal affairs team.
The highest-ranking among them, Hend Baghdady, comes from The Jackal Group, which Berman (pictured above) founded. Baghdaddy, who developed and executive produced “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo,” is not the only one of the bunch with The Jackal Group on her resume.
