Backstage.com says Amanda Congdon, former host of video blog Rocketboom, has signed with TV network HBO to develop and star in a comedy show.
Details of the project are still being hammered out, but Congdon said she’s aiming for a multiplatform property that will be integrated with original video content online. She intends to write and star in the series.
“HBO is exactly the place where I want to be,” Congdon said. “I’m most interested in playing in that new dimension with two parallel levels of programming, online and on TV.”
Congdon, who remains a part owner of Rocketboom, fell out with co-owner Andrew Baron earlier this year and has since been producing a video blog called Amanda Across America.
