![]() Here’s a bright spot: In their second pilot season, Jeff Frost, Chris Parnell and Jason Clodfelter saw their indie studio be one of only two to increase volume year-over-year, however modest it may be. Sony Pictures Television Studios: 6 (5 in 2018) Though its volume took a hit this season (down five, same as CBSTVS), the Peter Roth-led indie studio sold to four of five networks (save ABC) - and has a pair of co-productions with New Fox. In her third year on the job, Pearlena Igbokwe’s studio was off five this season (the same decrease as CBSTVS) - despite being one of only two to sell to each of the Big Four networks. 20th TV was one of only two studios this season to see volume increase amid the overall reduction in pilot orders. The studio - currently overseen by Howard Kurtzman and Jonnie Davis - had its largest slate in three years, benefiting from co-productions at ABC, CBS and NBC (and Endemol). With Dana Walden moving to the Disney fold and Gary Newman on his way out once the asset sale closes, 20th TV is making the most of its last days within the Fox fold. That said, the studio did benefit from taking a financial stake in all four of CBS’ outside studio buys.Ģ0th Century Fox Television: 15 (13 in 2018) The David Stapf-led studio did not sell to networks beyond CBS or The CW this season and with WBTV had the biggest year-over-year decrease. Would there have been more pilot orders from outside suppliers if the Disney deal had already closed? In terms of content, that, too, is still largely the same: broad procedurals and blue-collar family comedies.īig swing: Fox’s untitled Tom Kapinos ( Lucifer) drama has the same premise as the ( problematic) final season of How I Met Your Mother. After a development season evenly divided between scripts from outside studios and 20th TV, that follows the same vertical integration strategy of Collier’s predecessors, Gary Newman and Dana Walden. And of the network’s 11 orders (including two straight-to-series animated comedies), eight are from 20th TV. But new Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier is on the cusp of losing studio 20th Century Fox TV as part of the Disney deal. Judging by the volume and division of pilot orders, things appear to be business as usual for the broadcast network. Hybrid: 3 (includes one multi/hybrid mix) But we’ll go with Detective Frankenstein. On the comedy side, Chuck Lorre hopes Mike and Molly grad Billy Gardell can help fill the void created by Big Bang Theory‘s conclusion.īig swing: The network has at least three likely slam-dunks on its roster: a spinoff of Dick Wolf’s freshman procedural FBI, the Lorre comedy and a multicamera comedy starring Patricia Heaton. The network’s pilot roster is filled with the usual suspects: lawyers, doctors, cops, politicians and … Frankenstein?! Oh wait, Frankenstein is a detective, too.
