![]() ![]() ![]() In the ranks of non-major independents, the likes of MRC (the studio behind Netflix’s House Of Cards), Legendary Television, Skydance Television, Sonar Entertainment and Blumhouse Television have been working the scripted boom. The beneficiaries have included the TV divisions of Hollywood majors Sony, Paramount and Warner Bros (often defined as ‘independent studios’ because they are not affiliated with broadcast networks) and those of mini-majors Lionsgate and MGM (both currently mooted as potential takeover targets for programming-hungry Netflix and Apple). As the US industry’s output of scripted series has continued to grow - last year saw no fewer than 532 comedies, dramas and miniseries on offer, according to the latest research by FX Networks - independent producer-distributors across the spectrum have thrived on meeting the demand for scripted programming. Peak TV has become a boon for independent television studios in Hollywood. Source: Amazon Studios, HBO, Justina Mintz ![]()
