World Screen

Buyers in Los Angeles will have the chance to screen a bevy of new shows from NBCUniversal International Distribution, among them Bluff City Law with Jimmy Smits.

Among the new series screening from Walt Disney Global Content Sales & Distribution is the black-ish spin-off mixed-ish, about a young girl growing up in a mixed-race family in the '80s.

At the L.A. Screenings next week, buyers will have the chance to check out brand-new shows from CBS Studios International (CBSSI), including the Patricia Heaton comedy Carol's Second Act and the psychological mystery Evil.

Insights from Warner Bros.'s Jeffrey Schlesinger and a number of buyers on what are expected to be the major trends at the Hollywood studios' screenings of new U.S. pickups this year.

World Screen's comprehensive guide to the U.S. networks' 2019-20 season is now available, featuring the prime-time grids for ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and The CW; pop-up trailers; descriptions and credits for each new and returning show; and a listing of series by studio.

The independent TV sector, which annually gathers to distribute programming on the eve of the L.A. Screenings proper, got a shot in the arm Monday thanks to a series of keynotes, a networking game, a co-production panel and one-on-ones organized by NATPE.
