Yes, Norman Productions is a U.S.-based film and television production company established on October 27, 2017, by actress and producer Kaley Cuoco. The company is recognized for its work on the TV series Harley Quinn (2019–present) and The Flight Attendant (2020–2022).
History
Actress and producer Kaley Cuoco founded Yes, Norman Productions in October 2017, entering into an exclusive multi-year first look production agreement with Warner Bros. Television. The company’s name honors Cuoco’s dog, who features in its logo. Through this partnership, the company secured the rights to The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian, which was adapted into a dark comedy mystery thriller series starring Cuoco as both lead actress and executive producer.[1] Executive production duties were also shared by Greg Berlanti through Berlanti Productions.[2]
In August 2018, Suzanne McCormack was appointed senior vice president to manage development and production efforts.[3] Two months later, in October 2018, Yes, Norman co-produced the DC Universe animated series Harley Quinn, with Cuoco serving as executive producer and providing the voice for the title character.[4]
By July 2019, the company extended its first look agreement with Warner Bros. Television for an additional two years and announced that The Flight Attendant had been acquired by WarnerMedia's streaming platform HBO Max.[2] In August of that year, Yes, Norman began producing the CBS comedy Pretty, featuring Lindsey Kraft.[5] The premiere of Harley Quinn took place in November 2019 on DC Universe; subsequent seasons transitioned to HBO Max following changes to DC Universe's structure.[6]
In November 2020, Yes, Norman revealed plans to produce the live-action series America's Sweetheart, initially intended for Apple TV+ before shifting to HBO Max.[7][8] That same month marked the debut of The Flight Attendant on HBO Max, which was promptly renewed for a second season that aired in April 2022.[9]
Early in 2021, Cuoco announced acquiring rights to develop a limited series centered on actress and animal welfare advocate Doris Day, based on A. E. Hotchner's biography Doris Day: Her Own Story. Cuoco will take on both starring and executive producing roles alongside Greg Berlanti.[10]
In May 2021, Yes, Norman secured option rights to A Season With Mom by Katie Russell Newland, which includes a foreword by former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning. Concurrently, the company entered into a three-year overall first look deal with Warner Bros. Television Studios.[11]
