25 January 2018 Littlefield 74, The Handmaids Tale Recognized by Producers Guild of America
At the 29th annual Producers Guild Awards held on Jan. 20, Warren Littlefield 74 took home the Norman Felton Award for Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television for The Handmaids Tale, the Hulu television show based on Margaret Atwoods 1985 novel of the same name.
Littlefield is an executive producer of the show, which won Golden Globe awards for best drama series and best performance by an actress in a television drama earlier this year. Set in a dystopia era in which a theocratic totalitarian regime rules what was once the United States, The Handmaids Tale won eight of its 19 Emmy Award nominations in 2017, including Outstanding Dramatic Series, as well as recognitions for lead and supporting actresses, writing, directing, cinematography and production design.
Previously, under Littlefields watch as NBC president, the network won an amazing 168 Emmy awards and numerous other industry honors. He joined the company as manager of comedy development in 1979. At that time, NBC had no comedies ranked among Nielsens top 25 shows. Less than two years later, he was promoted to vice president of current comedy programs. As president of NBC television, Littlefield was responsible for developing shows such as Will and Grace, Seinfeld, Friends, Cheers and ER. The Littlefield Company, through which he now produces, represents the next chapter in his career.
