Bill Burr’s Company Signs Deal With Fox Entertainment Studios

Bill Burr and his North Hill Productions has signed a first-look deal with Fox Entertainment Studios.

Under this partnership, Burr and Mike Bertolina will serve as executive producers and content originators of scripted and unscripted TV projects.

“Bill Burr is one of the boldest, most original voices in comedy, and teaming up with him and Mike Bertolina at North Hill is exactly the kind of move that defines our studio,” said Hannah Pillemer, Head of Scripted for Fox Entertainment Studios. “Fox has always been home for comedy that swings big, and at FES, we’re doubling down, championing creators with strong points of view who don’t play it safe. When our logo hits the screen, whatever the platform, we want audiences to instinctively think: daring, fresh and undeniably Fox.”

North Hill was founded in 2024 by Burr and his longtime business and producing partner Bertolina. Their first project was Burr’s 2025 Hulu stand-up special, Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years, which is nominated for two Emmy Awards. North Hill is developing a half-hour comedy for Fox based on the life of the comedian Earthquake, and has a development slate that features films, scripted and unscripted formats, animation and documentaries.

Previously, Burr and Bertolina worked together via the production company All Things Comedy that was co-founded by Burr. They produced the feature films, Old Dads and Drugstore June; the feature documentary Patrice O’Neal: Killing is Easy, the sketch show Immoral Compass that’s currently on Roku, and many standup specials.

Burr and Bertolina are repped by 3 Arts Entertainment, WME and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham.
