TV duo Ripe for Web deal - The Hollywood Reporter

Online video platform Ripe Digital has signed TV writing-producing team Ross McCall and Aaron Peters to a multiseries deal.

CAA brought together clients Ripe and McCall/Peters, whose credits include “The Simple Life,” “The Tom Green Show” and creating the WB Network sitcom “Modern Men.”

The first series will be “Model Dating: Hawaii,” with comedian Jamie Kennedy on board as host. Debuting today, the ad-supported series will feature models dating viewers who write in to the show. CAA also reps Kennedy.

Aaron and Peters also are in development on two other series for Ripe: “Are You In?” an “all-viewer-controlled online reality game show,” and “The One,” an interactive competition that looks for the next “it girl.”

Founded in 2002, Ripe said it receives more than 30 million views each month via three broadband sites, its mobile site and through VOD partnerships with Time Warner and Comcast.
