CYNOPSIS

Good morning. It’s Monday June 11, 2018 and this is your first early morning briefing.

Tonight’s Premieres:
Bravo: Million Dollar Listing New York at 10p Freeform: Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings at 8p Oxygen: The Price of Duty at 8p Tonight’s Finale: MTV: Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant at 10p
IN THE NEWS Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer has just weeks to live after a recurrence of cancer. Outnumbered host Sandra Smith read a heartbreaking letter from Krauthammer, 68, who had been absent from FNC’s Special Report for almost a year as he battled the disease, on air. “I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months,” wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning analyst. “I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me…..This is the final verdict. The fight is over…..I am sad to leave, but Ieave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended.” Said Fox News executive chairman Rupert Murdoch, “Charles has been a profound source of personal and intellectual inspiration for all of us at Fox News. His always principled stand on the most important issues of our time has been a guiding star in an often turbulent world, a world that has too many superficial thinkers vulnerable to the ebb and flow of fashion, and a world that, unfortunately, has only one Charles Krauthammer. Gail Berman (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, CEO of The Jackal Group) and Lucy Fisher (The Great Gatsby, co-head, Red Wagon Entertainment) have been elected co-presidents of the Producers Guild of America, the first time two women have held the guild roles. They follow Gary Luccesi and Lori McCreary, who have served since 2014. TBS canceled People of Earth after two seasons, despite a renewal for the Conaco and Warner Horizon Television extraterrestrial comedy last fall. Series creator David Jenkins broke the news on Twitter, adding that season three had already been written. SAG-AFTRA reached a tentative agreement with ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC on a new contract that includes, among other things, wage increases for performers and protection against harassment. “This deal delivers overall gains in important areas, including meaningful increases in wages and residuals rates that will put real money in members’ pockets,” said AFTRA president Gabriell Carteris. “Additionally, the agreement now reflects important new language limiting auditions or meetings in private hotel rooms and residences, which represents a partial realization of our work toward industry culture change.” If approved by membership, the deal would run from July 1 through June 30, 2021. It wasn’t just California tax credits that convinced producers of Showtime’s The Affair to move production from New York to California for season four – the season’s theme of moving on had something to do with it. “We had been up and down the East Coast for three years, and the characters have been on top of each other for three years,” said series co-creator Sarah Treem at the Austin ATX Television Festival. “We felt like people move specifically when the situation has become impossible to navigate, and you need a change.” Also at the ATX Festival, David Simon (The Deuce) explained his plan of action following his ban from Twitter for saying a Donald Trump follower should “die of boils” (among other things). During the “Politically Minded” panel, Simon said he’d get back on the social networking service with a message for CEO Jack Dorsey: “Telling someone they can drop dead is not harassment. I have no control over mortality of other human beings... So I’m just going to say really, for your policies, you should drop dead.” Before Anthony Bourdain was found in his hotel room in France dead of suicide on June 8, the CNN host, chef and author hadn’t shown up for dinner the night before or breakfast that morning with good friend and chef Eric Ripert, reported the New York Times on Saturday. “This leads us to suspect that not much preparation and premeditation went into the act, and leads us more in the direction of an impulsive act,” said the local prosecutor in charge of the investigation. CNN confirmed Bourdain’s death at age 61 on Friday. Pryiyanka Chopra apologized for an episode of Quantico, in its third and final season on ABC, which focused on a terror plot that involved an Indian nationalist out to bomb Pakistan. “I’m extremely saddened and sorry that some sentiments have been hurt by a recent episode of Quantico. That was not and would never be my intention. I sincerely apologise. I'm a proud Indian and that will never change,” said the actress. Online attacks on the series star after the show aired in India also prompted a statement from ABC Studios, which said, “The episode has stirred a lot of emotion, much of which is unfairly aimed at Priyanka Chopra, who didn’t create the show, nor does she write or direct it.” Margaret Atwood may be involved in the writing of Hulu’s hit TV adaptation of her book, The Handmaid’s Tale, but that doesn’t mean she’s overly attached to her original version of the story. “We’re more reluctant to make changes in the world than she is, because she likes exploring different versions of it,” said exec producer/creator Bruce Miller at the PGA’s Produced By Conference. One detail not cut, though it was considered during the series’ development, were the Handmaids’ bonnets. “Imagine if we stuck to that, not wearing bonnets,” said VP Hulu original content Beatrice Springhorn. “We would have been idiots!” UK’s Sky Living is rebranding as Sky Witness, signaling its identity as a source for drama rather than lifestyle content. The majority of the primetime schedule already consists of procedurals like The Good Doctor and Criminal Minds; new acquisitions include For the People and Instinct. Rebrand is official on August 6. FX ordered a third season of Donald Glover comedy Atlanta, to debut in 2019. “Atlanta is phenomenal, achieving and exceeding what few television series have done,” said Nick Grad, a president of original programming at FX Networks and FX Productions. The series’ season two premiere had the best ratings of any recent basic cable comedy,while season one nabbed two Emmys, along with a slew of other honors.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT Game’s not over. HBO gave a pilot order to a prequel series for Game of Thrones, set thousands of years before the original. The project - one of five spinoff possibilities - comes from writer Jane Goldman and George R. R. Martin. Goldman will also serve as showrunner. Magical Elves, which produced the first five seasons of Project Runway, will return for Bravo’s 2019 reboot. The show ran on Bravo from 2004-2008, before moving to Lifetime, where Bunim-Murray produced. Time Travelin’ Jerk is in development at FX. The animated comedy is co-written and exec produced by Billy Eichner, who will also voice a character. Series, described as “Back to the Future meets Groundhog Day,” was created by Billy on the Street’s Doug Brady. A swinger comedy from Alanna Thompson and Dynamic Television (Van Helsing) made it to the development stage at Showtime. Project focuses on a monogamous couple, an open couple and two swingers who meet and fall in love at a swingers party. A scripted series based on the life of Jamal Edwards, founder of online video channel SBTV, is in development at UK’s Clerkenwell Films (Misfits). Edwards shared the news at nonfiction festival Sheffield Doc/Fest.

NEW & RETURNING SERIES ID’s new Broken Trust tells stories of trust betrayed with deadly consequences starting Wednesday, June 13 at 9p. Series premiere of Carnival Kings, featuring artist and Michelin chef Richie Farina in carnival cook-offs, airs Thursday, July 12 at 9p on Cooking Channel. ADVERTISING It’s a wrap, Upfront-wise, for The CW, with sales for the 2018-19 season reportedly seeing CPM increases of 10%-11%, and a lift in volume of about 15%. Deadline reports advertisers are responding to the extra night of programming on Sundays, as well as Black Lightning, Riverdale, and the upcoming All American and reboot Charmed. You’ll find more Upfront updates, as well as network data for buyers and planners, at the Cynopsis Upfronts/NewFronts portal. The FIFA World Cup is expected to rake in close to $600 million in ad dollars in the U.S., analysts predict, and $2.4 billion worldwide. The month-long tournament is airing on Fox and Telemundo. WPP is restructuring its business model to better cater to digital advertisers, according to the Wall Street Journal. With Martin Sorrell gone, the holding company’s chairman, Roberto Quarta, also plans to merge under-performing agencies, per the WSJ, in a bid to increase profits. Omnicom reorganized its experiential marketing agencies, including Auditoire, Doit!, GMR Marketing, Luxury Makers and Tro, to aid customization opportunities for clients and enable better deployment of resources. “Omnicom Experiential Group provides us with an opportunity to combine the strengths of our individual agencies to create an unmatched global offering for today’s leading brands,” said GMR CEO Cameron Parsons, who will be on the group’s board. DIGITAL DATA Speaking at the Gabelli Annual Movie and Entertainment Conference on Friday, Viacom CFO Wade Davis said that while he’s optimistic that Viacom channels will land on Hulu with Live TV or YouTube TV, the company is “extremely well-represented in the traditional distributor lead virtual MVPDs, that’s Sling TV and DirecTV Now. And those are really the only virtual MVPDs that matter.” Activist investors at Netflix were frustrated by a vote at the company’s annual stockholder’s meeting that saw 71.1% of voters in favor of a change in bylaws that allowed directors to be elected by a simple majority, that failed because it did not meet the supermajority voting requirement. Complaints about the board include a lack of racial diversity. Yahoo Messenger is shutting down July 17, announced Yahoo in a message. “We know we have many loyal fans who have used Yahoo Messenger since its beginning as one of the first chat apps of its kind,” said Yahoo. “As the communications landscape continues to change over, we’re focusing on building and introducing new, exciting communications tools that better fit consumer needs.” Users have six months to download their chat history; there is currently no replacement for Messenger.

Sponsored by Wyeth, the series will be known locally as Extraordinary Kid’s Got Talent. Sky Vision and Endemol Shine international announced a new distribution deal with Altice Studio that will see the French broadcaster acquire exclusive rights for drama series Tin Star. CASTING It was revealed at ATX Television Festival that Allison Tolman (Fargo) will recur on Hulu’s Castle Rock, from J.J. Abrams and Stephen King.
