Emmy-winning Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk has launched a new production company, Cal-Gold Pictures. It will be based at Sony Pictures TV, the studio behind the critically praised AMC series, with a first-look deal. Cal- Gold’s mission is to develop compelling stories with dynamic characters and social relevance. The company says its slate of projects aims to be “as unique, distinct, and varied, as Bob Odenkirk’s career itself – all with an eye towards breaking through the clutter… in sketch comedy, drama, and beyond.”
Odenkirk has tapped Ian Friedman, former VP of Talent & Development at Comedy Central, as Cal-Gold’s Head of Television.
