Reese Witherspoon's ABC Deal Extended, Comedy And Drama TV Projects Scheduled

Reese Witherspoon will be having two TV projects on ABC.

According to Deadline, Witherspoon has just extended her overall deal with ABC Studios for another year. The deal was done through her new company, Hello Sunshine.

The new contract gave Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine's head of film and television Lauren Levy Neustadter the rights to develop comedy and drama TV projects for the studio. The "Big Little Lies" star previously had an overall deal at ABC Studios through Pacific Standard, the production company she co-founded with Bruna Papandrea.

Aside from her upcoming projects on ABC and the potential sequel of "Big Little Lies" on HBO, another report suggested that Witherspoon is making a TV show with Jennifer Aniston. The project will cover morning TV shows and the larger media scene in New York.

Witherspoon and Aniston's tandem is expected to draw a significant attention from multiple bidders. The still-untitled series will be offered to premium cable outlets like HBO and to streaming services, such as Netflix.

Despite the projects and busy schedules, Witherspoon remains a doting mom to her three children, Ava Elizabeth, Deacon Reese and Tennessee James. She is a working and a hands-on mom when it comes to her children.

In fact, in a recent interview, the "Legally Blonde" actress admitted that her striking resemblance with her eldest Ava sometimes confuses her youngest son, Tennessee. Witherspoon shared an incident when Tennessee greeted Ava a "Happy Mother's Day" because the tot mistook his sister for his mom. The mom-of-three also added that her youngest son is like his older brother Deacon's protégé because he followed the latter around the house all day.

As for being a working mom, the "Walk the Line" star admitted that it is not easy. But her older children have been helping her with the youngest. Witherspoon added that she would continue her profession to inspire her children to work hard.

"My mom worked, and I think it's good for kids to see women working and being successful. I think it's going to make them hard workers because they see that I don't get much sleep," Witherspoon told People. "I want them to grow up with passion. This is the one life you get, and you have to live it to the very end."
