Bad Robot Signs Glen Zipper for Docuseries

Bad Robot has struck a multiyear deal to develop and co-produce premium docuseries with documentarian Glen Zipper.

The partnership comes under Bad Robot’s existing development deal with Warner Bros. Television. Zipper’s credits include Academy Award-winning documentary Undefeated, Grammy Award-winning Foo Fighters: Back and Forth and the Emmy Award-winning George Harrison: Living in the Material World.

“Glen’s critical eye for telling real stories and extensive experience in the documentary space allows us to expand the range and ambition of the shows we produce,” said Ben Stephenson, Bad Robot’s head of television. “We have been fans of Glen’s work for years and look forward to partnering with him to tell gripping, true-life stories.”

“I couldn’t be any more excited to get to work with JJ, Ben, Rachel and the rest of the Bad Robot team. I look forward to contributing to what Bad Robot already does so well—bringing audiences not only the best in all formats of storytelling, but also the unexpected,” said Zipper.
