Pilgrim signs Tutera to first-look deal

Craig Piligian’s Pilgrim Studios has signed the star of its WE tv series CELEBrations to a first-look deal.

According to terms of the pact, celebrity party planner David Tutera will work with US indie Pilgrim to make a variety of lifestyle-themed scripted and unscripted series.

To date, the pair has made three series together: David Tutera’s CELEBrations, My Fair Wedding and David Tutera: Unveiled, all of which go out on AMC Networks-owned WE tv.

“Pilgrim has been in business with David Tutera for more than seven years, and our relationship has only strengthened with time,’ said Pilgrim CEO and president Piligian. “We’re thrilled to be working together to build new franchises across both scripted and unscripted genres.”
