Amazon Teases Blake Lively Scripted Series

Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon's entertainment division, teased the project that Blake Lively will be collaborating with the studio on, according to Variety. Amazon Studios is close to a deal with Lively for a new scripted series, and on Wednesday, Salke teased the project.

Speaking with Vanity Fair's Krista Smith, Salke said that she has been recently meeting with Lively in New York to discuss a possible collaboration.

"Blake also has a huge appetite for a big scripted show with a really interesting writer who I can't talk about yet that she's targeted who will bring to life a scripted show that will be excellent and culturally relevant and original and all those things, but it will also have a connection to a merchandising opportunity," Salke said.

Asked whether the deal with Lively was closed, Salke said, "We're a moment from done." She added, "Blake will be good with it. She's in ROME right now, asleep."

Salke did not say whether Lively would star in the series or if she'd only be involved as producer.
