CYNOPSIS
01.12.15
Good morning. It’s Monday, January 12, 2015, and this is your first early morning briefing.
Tonight’s Premieres:
Bravo: Friends to Lovers? at 10p
E!: Fashion Police at 9p
MTV: Eye Candy at 10p
Tonight’s Finales:
Telemundo: Senora Acero at 10p
TNT: Major Crimes at 9p
UniMas: Pablo Escobar: El Patron del Mal at 9p
The CW got a running start for 2015-16, issuing early renewals for all eight of its scripted fall series. Arrow, The Flash, Jane the Virgin, Reign, Supernatural, The 100, The Vampire Diaries and The Originals “have helped define what the CW is today,” said CW president Mark Pedowitz. “By picking up these shows now, our executive producers can start planning next season’s storylines, and rolling these shows out throughout next season guarantees the CW will have more proven original series for our fall, midseason and summer 2016 line-ups.” No commitment was made for Hart of Dixie, which started in December, but the net’s got it covered. “If it ends, it’s a great finale,” said Pedowitz. “If it doesn’t, it’s a great season finale.”
IN THE NEWS
Trophy takers in TV drama categories included Best Series: The Affair; Best Actress: Ruth Wilson (The Affair) and Best Actor: Kevin Spacey (House of Cards). TV comedy winners included: Best Series: Transparent; Best Actress: Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin) and Best Actor: Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent).
Mad Men heads into the home stretch when the series returns with its final seven episodes starting Sunday, April 5 at 10p. “Mad Men is the show that put AMC on the map. Period. It is impossible to overstate the impact it has had on AMC, and I would argue, this era of television,” said Charlie Collier, AMC President. As for Jon Hamm? “I’m thrilled it’s ending. So happy not to see any of these people again,” said the actor at TCA, adding, “#Sarcasm.”
Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs) and Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings) will star in Starz’s adaptation of classic Ronald Harwood play, The Dresser. The co-production with BBC begins production in London later this year.
Guess no one called Walter White. “We want this show to stand on its own,” said Peter Gould, exec producer of AMC’s upcoming Breaking Bad spinoff, Better Call Saul!, at TCA. “Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will not appear in season one.” Added Jonathan Banks, who plays Mike Ehrmantraut, “Their ghosts are there. But this is a different show. And it is really good.” Saul, filmed in Albuquerque, premieres Sunday, February 8.
The SAG-AFTRA National Code of Fair Practice for Network Television Broadcasting was ratified by union members, with a resounding 96.5 percent of the vote. “I congratulate our members on ratifying this excellent agreement,” said SAG-AFTRA president Ken Howard. “Our members will benefit from increased wages and overtime rates, expanded residuals and stronger protections.”
WE tv is aiming to boost social media activity and viewer engagement with the launch of GIF Sync.Integrated into the WE tv app, GIF Sync serves real-time shareable GIFs, memes and a dedicated feed of show-related tweets during linear airings of WE tv originals. The digital extension “harnesses the power of social media activity and engagement to drive conversations around our buzz-worthy unscripted shows,” said Marc Juris, WE tv president. “Viewers are a driving force behind what makes a show pop culture relevant, and as they become increasingly more social we want to be there to capture those conversations and offer them unique experiences that complement our programming.”
Larry Wilmore will step into The Colbert Report’s 11:30p Comedy Central time slot on Monday, January 19, with a look at key events of the day, followed by a panel discussion. “We’ll have a nice balance of the scripted element and the non-scripted,” said Wilmore at TCA. “I’m not interested in doing a show where I give my opinion and people react to my opinion. Our show is more about the discovery of things.” The talker is now called The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore; original name The Minority Report was ditched thanks to Fox’s pickup of a pilot by that name.
Lifetime’s upcoming Un-Real centers on a TV dating competition in which contestants and circumstances are manipulated to amp up the drama. Sound familiar? But co-creators Sarah Gertrude Shapiro and Marti Noxon brushed off the suggestion at TCA their series is a spoof of The Bachelor – even though Shapiro once worked on the ABC reality show. “It was just a day job I had at 23,” said Shapiro. “I knew how to put up the wallpaper, but it’s totally fictional.”
Time jumps in season two of AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire, the computer drama set in 1985 and premiering in spring or summer of 2015, will be “a little less befuddling,” said exec producer/writer, Jonathan Lisco at TCA. “Time will elapse in a more organic way.” As for who hacked Sony? “I have the answer,” joked Lisco. “I just can’t share it.”
Katy Perry will be joined by her “first special guest,” Lenny Kravitz, onstage during the Super Bowl halftime show. The Prism singer called Kravitz “the coolest” in an interview with Today Show’s Willie Geist. Musical performance, and the football game, airs February 1.
Logo TV announced the launch of a new documentary division, dedicated to shining a light on LGBT pioneers. Content includes Matt Shepard Is a Friend of Mine, making its TV bow in 2015 after a February premiere in theaters. The net will also premiere a reality series, Behind the Movies, this spring, offering never-before-told tales about classics of the silver screen.

COMING UP AT NATPE
With NATPE just a week away, Cynopsis is talking with some of the major players attending the conference to see what’s in store for the 3-day Miami Beach event. Byron Allen is Chairman and CEO of Entertainment Studios, known for its strategy of cost-effective production and self-distribution – and as he readies for his 34th consecutive NATPE, he says it’s time for change.
What’s your goal in Miami? We really want to push the business model. The entire ecosystem is evolving, because that’s what it’s going to take to survive. The big studios are having a tough time finding their way in a .8 to 1.8 world.
And the solution is…We cracked the code on sitcoms. First Family and Mr. Box Office are a priority. Consistently delivering 100 episodes with recognizable actors and quality writers – there aren’t enough sitcoms, and they cost too much.
What about your court shows? They’re a big category for local stations. They’re important because they get money from legal and trade schools. We’ve really helped local television stations make the cash registers ring, even as local advertisers move to digital.
Will you be making any announcements at NATPE about your upcoming digital subchannel, Automotive.TV? We’ll announce the launch date, which will be in 30-45 days. Stations are extremely enthusiastic about a 24-hour network that speaks to their most important category.
CASTING
Rapper Snoop Dogg will play himself on Fox drama Empire, in an episode airing in late February or early March.
