A Drama Nirvana: How to Create a Multiplatform Hit

Monday, March 16
12:30PM - 1:30PM

Four Seasons

A new golden – and global – age of drama is unfolding before us. With so many top-quality series and miniseries premiering across platforms and networks every month, it's virtually impossible to keep up. Award winners like THE GOOD WIFE, GAME OF THRONES, HOUSE OF CARDS and SHERLOCK and DOWNTON ABBEY on MASTERPIECE create stiff competition among each other — and for new entries. How do established drama powerhouses like HBO, PBS, CBS — and now Netflix — develop strategies to break out of the content clutter and nurture current and potential hits, all while the “next big thing” could be waiting in the wings? Join David Levine, SVP programming, HBO; Sue Vertue, producer, SHERLOCK; and David W. Zucker, producer/writer, THE GOOD WIFE on CBS; Beth Hoppe, head of programming, PBS; and a top drama show runner for a glimpse into the highly competitive world of drama production in a multiplatform world.
