Poehler is teaming with Imagine Documentaries on Lucy & Desi, which will explore the remarkable personal and professional partnership between comedian Lucille Ball and husband Desi Arnaz. “As television’s long-reigning ‘First Family’, Lucy and Desi blazed a revolutionary trail through the cultural landscape that laid the groundwork for so much of the entertainment industry as we now know it," said Imagine Documentaries president Justin Wilkes of the I Love Lucy TV pioneers. "They created so many television firsts – not only in their portrayal of a multi-ethnic marriage or Lucy’s on-air pregnancy but as the first woman to head a studio and the creators of television syndication. It’s such an incredibly rich, inspiring and entertaining story and we’re honored to bring it to the screen.”
