Media conglomerates highlight myriad platforms but few new series as pilots take a back seat to streaming content at the first in-person presentations since 2019.
In years past, the broadcast networks would pick up hundreds of pilot scripts and order dozens of series. But as their companies diversify and throw more money at content for streaming services, those flagship networks, despite still being big money makers, have seen their development budgets slashed. And so they’ve been forced to re-imagine the old way of doing business.
The lack of attention to new series did nothing to streamline the presentations. After years of purposefully trimming run times, many were bloated and overly long , in part a consequence of the unwieldy nature of the industry with each company presenting multiple networks and heavily flogging streaming services that are the key to their survival.
And Fox has yet to even reveal a fall schedule in the midst of ongoing negotiations with 20th Television on renewals for returning series “9-1-1” and “The Resident,” both of which Fox executives very much want back on the network in the fall. Fox Entertainment chief executive officer Charlie Collier brushed off any potential for confusion, saying that the company’s “new approach” made more sense in the current era when linear and streaming are “complementary.
