Tancharoen and Whedon Sign with Range Media Partners

Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon have signed with Range Media Partners, according to a Deadline report published on 10 November 2026.

The pair are the co-creators of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the spy drama that ran for seven seasons on ABC between 2013 and 2020. They also served as its showrunners, the lead writers and producers who run a series day to day.

Their new signing comes with a project already in development. Tancharoen and Whedon are writing a pilot script for a series adaptation of Skyward for Tomorrow Studios. A pilot is the first episode of a show, and its script is often written before a network or platform decides whether to order a full season. Skyward is the first book in Brandon Sanderson's Cytoverse franchise.

Their earlier television and screen credits include Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Fox's Dollhouse and Starz's Spartacus. Deadline reports that the two continue to be represented by CAA and Myman Greenspan Fox Rosenberg Mobasser Younger & Light, the agencies that find work for writers and negotiate their contracts.

For writers, a change of company can mean a new team, new projects and a new set of people to pitch to. The Skyward pilot is one of the threads that now sits under the Range Media Partners name, and it is the next thing to watch. Whether it gets picked up for a full series will be decided by the company or platform that commissions it.

Range Media Partners is the company now working with the two writers.
