Rodin, who was a co-producer on Extant, is an executive producer on Don’t Go in the Water for Universal Pictures, as well as the sequel to Open Water at Lionsgate. He is a producing partner with his client Felicia Henderson, who is coming off an overall deal at 20th Television. Through Epidemic, Taja has set up numerous TV projects during the past few years, including Reunited at NBC with Rodin. The script, with Shipka and White attached, was taken out, generating interest and landing at Hulu. Taja then took the project to Jennifer Berman at Roadside, who also will executive produce alongside indie studio’s principals Eric D’Arbeloff and Howard Cohen.

Rodin originally brought the project to Taja to develop and produce through Epidemic Pictures. Talks are underway with potential showrunners. He executive produces alongside Taja via his Epidemic Pictures banner, Rodin, White and Roadside Attractions. This marks the first major sale for Nordmark, who is a forensic accountant by trade.
