Jenna Bans & Bill Krebs Drama ‘Pimp’ In Works At Peacock

EXCLUSIVE: Grosse Pointe Garden Society creators/executive producers Jenna Bans and Bill Krebs have teamed up for another twisty drama about everyday people dabbling into crime. The duo, who also worked together on Bans’ Good Girls, is writing Pimp, which is in development at Peacock.

In Pimp, when a married couple loses their spark, they get it back in the most shocking and controversial way – by running a sex work operation out of their upstanding Midwest community.

Bans and Krebs executive produce alongside Casey Kyber, Head of Television for Bans’ Minnesota Logging Company. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, where Bans is under an overall deal, is the studio.

Good Girls and Grosse Pointe were developed and produced for NBC but, with their unconventional tone and intricate serialized storytelling, they both excelled on streaming via their runs on Netflix and Peacock, respectively. In light of that, it makes sense for their followup to be set up at a streaming platform, in this case Universal TV sibling Peacock.

In addition to Good Girls, Bans created ABC’s Off the Map and The Family. Before that, she served as co-executive producer on ABC’s Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy and also worked on Desperate Housewives and Private Practice. Bans is repped by UTA and Yorn Levine.

Krebs worked on Bans’ The Family before he joined her on Good Girls, where he rose to executive producer and co-showrunner alongside Bans. Krebs’ series credits also include Red Band Society and Franklin & Bash. He is repped by UTA and Management 360.
