The team behind Sydney-based production company Jungleboys has signed a breakthrough Hollywood deal for their TV show A Moody Christmas.

The show is to be produced by CBS Studios and will air on Fox, with the creator of Entourage Doug Ellin as show runner along with Jungleboys’ Trent O’Donnell and Phil Lloyd.

A Moody Christmas was a hit comedy drama for the ABC last year. It featured the Moody family’s Christmas day on six consecutive years. The follow up series for the SBC begins shooting next week in Sydney.
