After creating and showrunning Hart of Dixie for four seasons, Gerstein went on to work on such shows as Mrs. He also appeared in the movie Duets with Gwyneth Paltrow, and guest-starred multiple times on the sitcom Hot in Cleveland. Lewis is repped by Paradigm. At Fox, Kapital has the upcoming animated series Housebroken , comedy pilot Pivoting and a crime drama procedural in development based on the true-life experiences of professional medium Tina Powers.
