She is currently developing a teen-drama TV series with Josh Schwartz for Fox called "Prodigy". According to "The Hollywood Reporter", it is about "a 16-year-old genius who through home schooling has been isolated from her peers. Hoping to experience a "normal" teen social life before she enters the adult world of academia, she enrolls in her local high school. Her experiment goes off the rails when she finds herself adopted by a wild crowd, getting caught up in a whirlwind of romance and crime." Cody is also linked to Warner Bros. Television's romantic comedy "Alex+Amy".
