\n\tSpencer Pratt<\/a> is now a real political contender in Los Angeles, with a shot to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. But he\u2019s also a veteran player in the reality TV space \u2014 and knows how to parlay his penchant for getting attention into an entertainment deal.<\/p>\n

\n\tFront of mind for Team Pratt right now is the June 2 primary in the mayoral race. Yet, intriguingly, there\u2019s also been scattered rumors about how his unconventional campaign can be turned into TV content that harkens back to his MTV days.<\/p>\n

\n\tTMZ, which this week reported that Pratt is living at the luxurious Hotel Bel-Air instead of, as he\u2019d claimed, a trailer on his burnt-out Pacific Palisades lot, followed up that story with an item on May 14 that he\u2019d \u201cinked a deal\u201d for a reality series about his campaign run and, should he be elected, term in office.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe report noted<\/a> that Pratt and wife Heidi Montag were partnering with Boardwalk Pictures, explaining that \u201cthe production team is about to begin filming with Spencer, his wife Heidi Montag, and their kids throughout his political journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPratt\u2019s spokesperson downplayed the project in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter: \u201cThis is a non-starter as there is no signed contract. Nothing has been pitched, nothing has been filmed, there is no contact or deal of any sort in existence. Cameras have not been rolling and there are no plans at all for cameras to film.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYet THR has learned that Boardwalk Pictures has already approached potential directors about the planned show. It\u2019s seasoned production firm whose credits include Hulu\u2019s Welcome to Wrexham and Netflix\u2019s Cheer, as well as the doc projects Val, The Black Godfather and aka Charlie Sheen.<\/p>\n

\n\tPratt gained fame as the villain on MTV\u2019s reality TV hit The Hills, alongside his then-girlfriend Montag, and later appeared on other unscripted shows including I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out of Here! and Celebrity Big Brother. Before The Hills, he produced the short-lived Fox reality series The Princes of Malibu, which centered on the domestic life of David Foster. (The music producer recently hosted a fundraising event for the candidate, where wife Katharine McPhee serenaded Pratt with a rendition of Katharine McPhee\u2019s \u201cSimply the Best.\u201d) <\/p>\n

\n\tAmong his earliest campaign donors, according to city filings, is top unscripted producer Jeff Jenkins, known for producing The Simple Life as well as Keeping Up with the Kardashians and its offshoots.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen THR profiled<\/a> Pratt last October about his public policy outspokenness in the aftermath of the wildfires (which would later morph into his mayoral run) he expressed frustration with his inability in recent years to get greenlit again. \u201cTechnically, we are still alive at Hulu,\u201d he said of a long-brewing project, observing with hope that his avenging-hero character arc and life\u2019s recent plot twists might get him out of development hell. \u201cI\u2019m told by my fearless team at WME that not being passed on is a success nowadays.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spencer Pratt is now a real political contender in Los Angeles, with a shot to unseat incumbent Mayor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":486560,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[265],"tags":[18,117,19,17,190625,128],"class_list":{"0":"post-486559","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-spencer-pratt","13":"tag-tv"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=486559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486559\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
