Our first Emmy® special edition – Primetime Emmy® Awards: Outstanding Comedy Series, highlighting the nominees for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, will be coming out this Wednesday.

Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution made a first-time syndication deal with Netflix over four years for the streaming rights to all 100 episodes of Nip/Tuck. Netflix has many TV series available for web streaming though the Warner Bros. deal is the first time the company has made a traditional syndication off-network acquisition for a TV series, paying a reported $200,000-plus per episode over the deal period. The pact also involves streaming rights for Netflix to other Warner Bros. series including Pushing Daisies, Veronica Mars and Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Warner Bros. also made a deal with Logo for all 100 episodes of Nip/Tuck which will begin airing on the network this October.
Clifton Collins (Star Trek) landed a role on NBC’s upcoming drama series The Event. Collins will play Thomas, a person integral to the show’s secret conspiracy who will spar with the president of the US (Blair Underwood). The Event is scheduled to debut on NBC September 20.
Aronnax Animation Studios, based in Lima, Peru, commenced production on the CGI animated series, La Casa de Timoteo based on a live-action show of the same name. Fifteen initial episodes will be produced and will air on America TV, Peru starting fourth quarter 2010.
Correction: In Friday’s edition, we erroneously said Lindsay Vonn was an Olympic gold medal winner for skating. Geez! Vonn won as a skier and a new special about her, My: Moment is being produced by Worldwide Biggies Inc. to air on premium entertainment network, EPIX in January.
