Ariana Madix Lands Sci-Fi Role on Peacock

Ariana Madix is attached to star in and executive-produce a new science-fiction drama series in development at Peacock. Titled "Future Housewives," the project hails from "The Orville" executive producers Brannon Braga and Seth MacFarlane.

The series is set in the "decadent asteroid colony of New Beverly Hills," where wealthy socialites navigate bioengineered beauty, rivalries, and scandals. The official logline suggests it will explore how an outsider disrupts their glamorous world, exposing societal detachment and evolving beyond superficiality.

Brannon Braga, known for his work on various "Star Trek" series, will write and executive-produce "Future Housewives." He previously worked with Seth MacFarlane on "The Orville," which aired for three seasons. The development of "Future Housewives" marks a potential new direction for Madix, who is also a recurring cast member on the NBC comedy "St. Denis Medical."
