Elle is currently in the UK while filming the upcoming second season of her Hulu series The Great. She also just recently launched a production company with her sister Dakota!

The Fanning sisters are the latest to launch their own production company!

It was just reported on Thursday (March 4) that Dakota and Elle Fanning have started Lewellen Pictures, Variety reveals.

Under their new company, the girls have already signed a first look TV deal with Civic Center Media in affiliation with MRC Television, and will executive produce a series adaptation of Megan Miranda‘s novel “The Last House.”

The show “is described as a crime thriller about an intimate friendship between two girls who fall violently in love with each other’s differences, which, in the end, create doubt, betrayal and tragedy.”

Dakota and Elle‘s new partnership with Civic Center Media and MRC Television is furthering Elle‘s work with them. She executive produces her hit Hulu series The Great, which the companies also produce.

“We are thrilled to be launching this company together and to be teaming up with MRC who have been excellent partners on The Great,” the Fanning sisters said in a statement. ”Our goal is to tell stories, through comedy and drama, which are authentic to the human experience, and not just from our own perspective. We also want to create content that we wouldn’t be able to make just as actors. We can learn so much when we look outside our specific points of view. We have been fortunate to work with many brilliant storytellers and hope to continue that track while also providing opportunities for many more.”

If you missed it, it was recently announced that Dakota has signed on to star in an upcoming new TV series, reuniting her with a former co-star from over 20 years ago!

The 2021 Film Independent Spirit Awards nominations have been revealed!

Elle Fanning and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan are among the TV nominees this year. They are both up against each other in the Best Female Performance in a Scripted Series for their work in The Great and Never Have I Ever, respectively.

The upcoming awards are usually held the night before the Oscars, but due to pandemic shakeups, they’re actually taking place three days before on April 22nd.

While the awards normally only cover feature films, this year, they have added television categories.

“2020 was Hell on earth, but one glorious lifeline these past months has been the ability to watch so many great films and shows,” Film Independent president Josh Welsh said in a statement, via THR. “In an unbelievably challenging year, this year’s Spirit Award nominees inspired us, connected us, and have been a source of urgently needed light in the darkness. Even though we’re still stuck at home, let’s come together to celebrate this great work!”

Elle Fanning is going to be very busy!

It was just announced that the 22-year-old actress will star in the new limited series The Girl From Plainville at Hulu.

The show was ordered straight to series, with Elle also serving as an executive producer on the project.

The Girl From Plainville follows Elle as Michelle Carter and is inspired by the true story of her controversial “texting-suicide” case. Based off of the Esquire article of the same name by Jesse Barron, the limited series will explore Carter’s relationship with Conrad Roy III and the events that led to his death and, later, her controversial conviction of involuntary manslaughter.

Elle will also be starring in the upcoming second season of her satirical show The Great, also on Hulu, alongside Nicholas Hoult.
