HBO Max has ordered eight episodes of The Big Shot with Bethenny (wt), a new business reality competition series from MGM Television, The Apprentice creator Mark Burnett, and reality star Bethenny Frankel and her B Real Productions.
In each half-hour episode, contestants will compete for a chance to be second-in-command to Skinnygirl founder Frankel, and win a position working on her executive team.
Through a series of real-life tasks and challenges, each aspiring contestant will be tested to see how far they can push their creativity and determination to rise to the top.
The Big Shot with Bethenny (wt) is produced by MGM Television, B Real Productions and Big Fish Entertainment.
The executive producers are Mark Burnett, Barry Poznick, Bethenny Frankel, Dan Cesareo and Lucilla D’Agostino.
Frankel is the founder & CEO of Skinnygirl, a lifestyle brand for women, and former star of the Bravo series The Real Housewives of New York City.
A frequent collaborator of MGM Worldwide Television Group chairman Mark Burnett, Frankel appeared as a shark on two seasons of ABC’s series Shark Tank.
“I first met Bethenny when I put her on the first season of The Real Housewives of New York City and she’s always both impressed and entertained me,” said Jennifer O’Connell, executive vice president of original non-fiction and kids programming, HBO Max.
