Grounded sci-fi, heightened YA (but without supernatural or fantasy elements), left of center quirky half hour cable and streaming comedies, corporate espionage/undercover stories for streaming/premium, ongoing horror (not anthological), high concept family drama in the vein of SUCCESSION, character driven dramas are our main focus going forward (some of our shows that have been recent successes that we use as comps for what has worked for us and feel “left of center” include ZOEY’S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST on NBC, LOVE LIFE coming soon to HBO MAX - other less recent examples include MAD MEN, WEEDS, NURSE JACKIE, ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK)
Concept first, then focus on structure so I can get a clear sense of how the series is outlined, but with an emphasis on character throughout since all of our shows prioritize character first
