Maria Grasso has been named President of Tiny Pyro, “UnReal” co-creator Marti Noxon’s production banner, Deadline has reported.
Grasso is a veteran TV producer who has developed and overseen production of such series as “Supernatural,” “Army Wives,” “One Tree Hill,” and “Everwood.”
Grasso is leaving One-Two Punch Productions, the company she co-founded with Deborah Spero, for the new role. At One-Two Punch, she oversaw projects at HBO, AMC and Amazon, and executive produced “Finding Carter” for MTV.
Grasso will oversee development for Tiny Pyro, including collaborations with Skydance Television and the adaption of Sarai Walker’s novel “Dietland.”
“As our priority development slate with Skydance Television rapidly expands, I am thrilled to have found in Maria a new creative partner to help shepherd Tiny Pyro’s efforts in bringing a diverse slate of high quality series to the screen,” said Noxon.
“Maria is an extremely accomplished creative executive whose depth and breadth of experience will serve as a strong extension to Skydance Television’s already highly productive working relationship with Marti and the Tiny Pyro team,” added Marcy Ross, President of Skydance Television.
“I have long admired Marti’s talent and taste in material. At the same time, I am so impressed with Skydance Television’s deep commitment to storytelling and the outstanding reputation it has earned among writers, so joining this team is an incredibly exciting next step for me and I cannot wait to get started,” said Grasso.
