"Fox 21 has reached a deal to produce the pilot of Renee Zellweger&amp;#039;s drama Cinnamon Girl. The studio paid $6 million for the rights following an intense bidding war. The figure is said to be the highest price ever for a basic cable pilot.  Lifetime, which obtained the US broadcast rights earlier this year, will pay half of the production cost, The Wrap reports. Six studios were in the running to produce the series, which follows four coming-of-age girls - Cassie, Lola, Penny and Lou - during the late 1960s and early 1970s in Los Angeles. The drama was inspired by Zellweger&amp;#039;s real-life journey from a small-town girl to Hollywood star, and co-creator Anthony Tambakis&amp;#039;s interest in the Laurel Canyon music scene and the New Hollywood of the late &amp;#039;60s. Lifetime considered producing and owning Cinnamon Girl itself, but sought a studio to produce and distribute it internationally due to the 1960s LA setting and the musical theme.
