Fox’s pilot Mixtape<\/em> is going to series — at Netflix. The Internet network has given a 10-episode order to the musical drama starring\u00a0Jenna Dewan, Callie Hernandez and Madeline Stowe. The project hails from\u00a0Quantico<\/em>\u00a0creator Josh Safran; Annapurna Pictures; 20th Century Fox TV, which produced the original pilot; and its cable\/streaming division Fox 21 TV Studios.<\/p>\n

The majority of the cast of the Fox pilot, which was directed by Jesse Peretz, are set to continue. That includes Hernandez, Jahmil French, Dewan, Campbell Scott, Stowe,\u00a0Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Megan Ferguson and Evan Whitten.<\/p>\n

The male lead, played in the Fox pilot by\u00a0Raul Castillo, will be recast, and possibly the child role of his young son. As a result, there will be some reshoots on the pilot, which would be helmed by Peretz subject to availability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t

Written by former Smash<\/em> showrunner Safran, Mixtape<\/em> is a romantic musical drama that looks at the love stories connecting a diverse, disparate group of people in contemporary Los Angeles through the music that lives inside their hearts and minds.<\/p>\n

Safran executive produces with Annapurna\u2019s Megan Ellison and Sue Naegle as well as Ali Krug.<\/p>\n

While Mixtape<\/em> did not make the cut to series at Fox, the pilot was an internal favorite and had support among network executives. As we previously reported<\/a>, it was taken out by the studio to streamers immediately after Fox Broadcasting Co. had made its pickup decisions last month. The talks progressed at Netflix and, with a deal in its final stages, the actors were picked up this past weekend just hours before their options were set to expire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t

This is the third broadcast pilot to get a series order by Netflix after missing the cut at its original network. Last year, the streaming platform picked up drama Insatiable<\/em> (originally at the CW) and comedy All About the Washingtons<\/em> starring Rev Run (originally at ABC).<\/p>\n

It’s been a busy month or so at Netflix, which also picked up canceled Fox drama series Lucifer<\/em><\/a> and continues negotiations for <\/a>Designated Survivor.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Mixtape<\/em> was the first broadcast pilot for Annapurna and the second series at Netflix for the company, which also has the Coen brothers anthology The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.<\/em><\/p>\n

At Netflix, Fox 21 TV studios recently produced the Veena Sud series Seven Seconds. <\/em>This marks the first 20th TV broadcast project — pilot or series — to find a second life on a SVOD platform.<\/p>\n
