A new digital television series produced by Fox News host Megyn Kelly and “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie producer Michael De Luca will be shot in Des Moines starting next week. The series, “Embeds,” will feature five young reporters who are in way over their heads on the presidential campaign trail. Big-name politicians are expected to make cameo appearances throughout the series. Produce Iowa, the state office of media production, is facilitating the production. Scott Conroy, co-author of the best-selling Sarah Palin biography “Sarah from Alaska,” and Peter Hamby, a former CNN correspondent who is now head of Snapchat’s news efforts, co-created the show and penned the pilot. Verizon-owned streaming platform Go90 has ordered six half-hour episodes of the political comedy, and all episodes will be produced in Iowa. Shooting begins next week and producers hope to stream the first episode by Election Day.
