Tag: L.A. Screenings 2017

A full recap of World Screen Newsflash's L.A. Screenings coverage, including social media analysis from The WIT, on-site reporting from Elizabeth Guider and insight from the U.S. network upfronts.

From Twin Peaks to Rise, from Young Sheldon to Electric Dreams to Snowfall, the breadth and range of American TV programming has arguably never been greater—nor, too, the money it takes to put together and market these series to a worldwide audience.

Dynasty generated the most interest in social media out of the four new shows unveiled by The CW last week, according to data from The WIT.

Young Sheldon, a prequel to The Big Bang Theory, generated the most buzz among social media users out of all of CBS's new fall shows, according to The WIT, which tracked trailer views and Facebook and Twitter interactions in the week since the network's Upfront.

PREMIUM: Sometimes it's the least likely of series that steals the limelight at a particular Hollywood major studio during the L.A. Screenings; in the case of Twentieth Century Fox, a number of foreign program buyers all circled back to one show as being the most arresting, if not jaw-dropping, they've seen so far: Snowfall.

Of the new scripted shows presented by ABC at last week’s Upfronts, The Good Doctor, an adaptation of a South Korean format, generated the most social media traction according to analysis from The WIT.

PREMIUM: Leaving aside the two buzzy juggernauts Twin Peaks and Star Trek: Discovery—both of which are already bespoke in prime pay and digital windows in major territories abroad—the hottest commodity at CBS Studios International this week during the L.A. Screenings appears to be, of all things, a military-esque drama, SEAL Team.

Continuing its analysis of the new fall network shows, The WIT reveals that the Marvel action/fantasy drama The Gifted generated the most interest in social media among FOX's new slate of dramas and comedies.

PREMIUM: "It exceeded all our expectations." That's how one of Europe's top program buyers, ProSiebenSat.1's Rüdiger Böss, described his reaction to the pilot for Young Sheldon, one among seven series that Warner Bros. screened on its lot Monday morning for foreign clients.

Tracking YouTube trailer views, Facebook likes and Twitter activity, The WIT will be analyzing social media responses to the new U.S. network shows all week, beginning with NBC, where Will & Grace generated the most buzz.
