“Mutual Aid Brigade” New Reality Series Pilot For Chicken Soup For The Soul

Published

on


The reality show Mutual Aid Brigade, produced by Chicken Soup for the Soul Television Group, has been given the go-ahead to shoot its pilot in April. Award-winning actress Debra Messing and author, speaker, and activist Shelly Tygielski serve as co-hosts.

Mutual Aid Brigade is much more than a wish-granting TV show; it’s inspired by the extraordinary, everyday work of the nonprofit Pandemic of Love. Those in need are connected with those who want to be a part of the solution in this community run by volunteers, fostering a culture of support. It’s a practical example of helping each other out. Pandemic of Love has transacted more than $100 million in direct giving.

The series is presented by executive producers Shelly Tygielski and Gillian Hormel, executive produced by Michael Winter for Chicken Soup for the Soul Studios, Laura deNey and Mustafa Bhagat for production company Flicker Filmworks, Mark Schulman and Molly Madden from 3 Arts Entertainment, Sandy Grushow from Phase 2 Media as well as Debra Messing and the showrunner Dorothy Toran.

“Pandemic of Love has proven that a lot of people doing a little bit can create a huge impact,” said Shelly Tygielski, founder of Pandemic of Love. “I’m excited that our show will be able to bring the mutual aid model into the collective consciousness of our society. So many families in this country are struggling, and my hope is that Mutual Aid Brigade will be able to remind people that one act of kindness, no matter how small, can ripple out and change lives. Ultimately, this is a show that will inspire viewers to roll up their sleeves and move to action within their own communities.”

“I’m so excited to be working with this amazing team on this transformative series,” said host Debra Messing. “Our goal is to make real, lasting change in the lives of people who are hurting and in need. At the same time, demonstrating for our audience how any group of local community members/strangers with a unifying goal, have the power to change lives if they simply show up for one another.”

“We are so honored that Shelly, Gillian, and Debra have come to us to help tell their stories. Each episode will embody the ethos and the power of storytelling that has made Chicken Soup for the Soul such a beloved brand around the world,” said Michael Winter, SVP of Production for Chicken Soup for the Soul Studios.
