Good morning. It’s Thursday, July 10, 2014, and this is your first early morning digital briefing.
CBS signed a deal with Netflix to air episodes of thriller Zoo, based on the James Patterson novel. The pact is worth more than the $1 million per episode Amazon is offering CBS for Under the Dome and Extant, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series includes 13 episodes produced and written by Fringe’s Jeff Pinkner, Life on Mars’ James Mangold and others. Netflix will not air Zoo until the network season ends.
Author James Patterson was busy yesterday: Collective Digital Studio plans to produce a YouTube miniseries based on the best-selling young-adult novel Maximum Ride saga by the author. Variety reports CDS is currently talking to YT talent as well as deciding which partner channel will best fit the show. The eight-book franchise, about genetically modified teens that escape a lab facility, has sold more than 30 million copies. Universal Pictures most recently held the rights.
Tribune Digital Ventures acquired TV search and listings provider What’s-ON to further expand its global footprint. What’s-ON provides a guide for TV listings in India, the Middle East, Indonesia and Sri Lanka with more than 1,600 channels and powers more than 57 million set-top boxes in the regions.
