Meriwether is a 25-year-old Yale grad whose Off Broadway play "Mistakes Madeline Made" got her onto the Fox lot, where she wrote the FBC pilot "Sluts." Though the pilot wasn't picked up, it led to Meriwether getting "Maynard and Jennica" as well as "Fuck Buddies," a friends-with-benefits comedy that is being developed by the Montecito Picture Co.
