Joel Stillerman Launches TV Production Venture

Hulu and AMC Networks alum Joel Stillerman has launched a new TV production company, Content Superba.

Based in Los Angeles, Content Superba is backed by Endeavor Content. Owen Shiflett joins the new venture as senior VP of development and production. Prior to Content Superba, Shiflett founded original series production at AMC SVOD networks Shudder and Sundance Now.

Stillerman had been at Hulu since June 2017, responsible for evolving and driving the overall content strategy for the company, and he oversaw Hulu’s content acquisitions, originals development and content partner management teams. Prior to joining Hulu, Stillerman served as president of original programming and development for AMC Networks, including AMC and SundanceTV. During his near-decade-long tenure, he oversaw some of the most iconic and acclaimed shows on television, including Emmy Award winners Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

“We believe the changes in how we access our content are just the tip of the iceberg,” said Stillerman. “The real change that’s upon us is a reimagining of storytelling itself as these new platforms emerge and evolve. It’s always going to be about creating emotional connections, having something to say about our world, and offering a means to escape our reality; but what that means conceptually is the next great frontier, and that’s where Content Superba will live. There has never been a better time to be the new kids, and along with our partners at Endeavor Content, we’re formally inviting the dreamers, rule-breakers, innovators, and inventors to come and play with us.”

“Joel has worked across some of the most iconic and acclaimed shows on television and his success stems from his willingness to take risks and find unique stories that connect people. We are excited to be joining him on his new venture,” said Endeavor Content Co-Presidents Chris Rice and Graham Taylor.
