In 2013, Fox passed on the pilot for DELIRIUM, based on the popular Lauren Oliver book trilogy, and as with most passed over pilots, the potential series went (seemingly) quietly into the night.
Enter: WIGS.
WIGS — an online studio started by Jon Avnet and Rodrigo Garcia as a YouTube original programming channel that quickly expanded into partnerships with Fox, as well as distribution on Hulu and other platforms — has been putting out female-led programming since its launch in 2012, and since co-founder Garcia also directed the DELIRIUM pilot, putting the two things together ended up being a natural fit.
To get a little more insight about what bringing DELIRIUM to WIGS means — AKA, could it continue on? Might other pilots get this same second life? — I spoke with Garcia about the show’s journey, and what’s next for WIGS…

Comments Off on DELIRIUM Pilot to Appear on Hulu’s WIGS Channel
DELIRIUM, the passed-over Fox pilot from 2013 that was based on Lauren Oliver’s “Delirium” book trilogy, is getting a new life: WIGS will put it up on their Hulu channel on June 20th for a limited window.
In DELIRIUM, love is considered a disease and the risk of it can be eliminated by a procedure. Unfortunately for Lena (played by Emma Roberts), she falls in love before she can be “fixed.”
The pilot stars Roberts, Billy Campbell, and Gregg Sulkin, while the script was written by former BONES/PRISON BREAK scribe Karyn Usher.
