Nkechi Okoro Carroll Renews Overall Deal With Warner Bros., Launches New Production Company, And To Reboot ‘Life Goes On’

All American executive producer/showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll has formed a new production company, Rock My Soul Productions, and renewed her overall deal with Warner Bros. Television Group, where she has been based since 2018. WBTVG can confirm that it is an exclusive, multiyear agreement for Okoro Carroll and Rock My Soul. This is Okoro Carroll’s second overall deal with the Studio.

Okoro Carroll also announced today that former AGBO executive and WME agent Lindsay Dunn has joined Rock My Soul Productions as its new head of television. As part of the pact, Okoro Carroll will continue to serve as executive producer and showrunner of the hit The CW/WBTV drama series All American, as well as the upcoming spinoff All American: Homecoming, which debuts in midseason on The CW. She and Rock My Soul will also develop new programming for all platforms, including WarnerMedia’s HBO Max, external streaming services, cable, and the broadcast networks.

The first project that Okoro Carroll and Rock My Soul are developing under the deal is a sequel to the iconic 1990s series Life Goes On. Okoro Carroll will write and executive produce. Original series cast members Kellie Martin and Chad Lowe will serve as producers on the project, with Martin set to reprise her on-screen role. Original series creator Michael Braverman will be an executive consultant. The new drama will revisit a grown-up Becca Thatcher (Martin), now an accomplished doctor, and her extended family as she returns to her hometown.

Nkechi Okoro Carroll said: “I am so excited to continue my partnership with Channing Dungey, Brett Paul, and the extended WarnerMedia family. We’ve only just scratched the surface of the stories we want to tell together. Our mission at Rock My Soul Productions is to create content that leaves the world a little bit of a better place than how we found it. Warner Bros.’ continued support of this mission means everything to me.” Okoro Carroll continued: “I am also grateful to my former agent and longtime friend, Lindsay Dunn, for joining and elevating the Rock My Soul family as our Head of Television. Her immense talent, leadership skills and incredible passion for creating content that makes a difference is beyond inspiring.”

Warner Bros. Television Group Chairman Channing Dungey said: “We are thrilled to extend our relationship with Nkechi and are honored to continue as her storytelling partner. She and her All American team have done incredible work bringing a vivid and diverse picture of African American life to the screen, and we are so excited to see her expand that vision to include the world of Historically Black Colleges and Universities with the upcoming All American: Homecoming. Nkechi’s work is endlessly entertaining and inspiring, and we look forward to collaborating and telling important stories with her for many years to come.”

In addition to running All American and All American: Homecoming at The CW, Okoro Carroll is developing The Fed at IMDb TV. The project follows both the personal and career drama surrounding a group of young hopefuls as they begin an elite fellowship with the Federal Reserve, the nation’s most powerful financial institution.

Before her TV career, Okoro Carroll worked for the Federal Reserve. Prior to her WBTV deal, Okoro Carroll was in an overall deal at 20th Studios, where she served as co-executive producer on the FOX drama series The Resident and Rosewood. Her previous credits include Bones and The Finder.

Dunn spent the first 14 years of her career at WME as an agent in the television literary and packaging department, working with writers, directors and producers. In 2017, she moved over to AGBO, the company founded by directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, where she served as Executive Vice President and Head of Television. While there, she produced shows for streaming and cable, including Citadel for Amazon AMZN , Deadly Class for SYFY, and the upcoming From for Epix.

Lindsay Dunn said: “I am thrilled to be joining Nkechi as she builds her new company at Warner Bros. As her agent, I was always blown away by Nkechi’s talent as both a writer and producer, but her true gift is that of being an incredibly kind and generous human being. I am thankful to Nkechi for the opportunity to work with her as she continues to make meaningful and entertaining television with our partners at Warner Bros.”

Okoro Carroll is repped by WME, Patti Felker and JR McGinnis at Felker Toczek, and Adesuwa McCalla at MetaMorphic Entertainment.
