Jimenez and McMechan executive produce with Brett Baer and Dave Finkel (Bad Sisters, New Girl), who are set to supervise, and Sharon Hall (Sinatra: All Or Nothing At All).

In their first major writing gig, Jimenez and McMechan co-penned with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans the global phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix’s most watched movie ever with 325 million views in the first 91 days and more than 650M to date. The animated musical won the Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award for Best Animated Feature.

In the wake of KPop Demon Hunters’ success, Jimenez and McMechan were tapped to write a 50 Foot Woman remake, currently in development with Tim Burton, Warner Bros. and LuckyChap.

Legendary Television’s slate includes Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (Apple TV), Dune: Prophecy (HBO) and the upcoming untitled Monsterverse series for Apple TV starring Wyatt Russel.
