IDW and eOne will fully fund development of projects with the intent of securing direct-to-series commitments for network and cable television, with IDW Publishing CEO Ted Adams and IDW Entertainment President David Ozer serving as Executive Producers on the projects, along with eOne CEO John Morayniss and SVP of Filmed Entertainment Benedict Carver.
IDW Entertainment and eOne will jointly represent projects for U.S. network sales, while eOne will handle international distribution. One currently handles international distribution for original scripted series from AMC and Sundance Channel, among others.
Although no specific projects were mentioned in the announcement, IDW previously announced plans to develop Paul Zbyszewski’s Life Undead, J.T. Petty and Stephen Thompson’s Brooklyn Animal Control, and V Wars, edited by Jonathan Maberry as part of the formation of IDW Entertainment.
