L.A. Screenings Spotlight: Entertainment One

May 9, 2012 World Screen Top Stories

NEW YORK: Drama series, including the soon-to-launch show Saving Hope, lead off Entertainment One (eOne)’s L.A. Screenings highlights.

 

The company recently extended its first-look deal with producer Ilana Frank and her production outfit, Ilana C. Frank Films, for three more years. Frank is behind the new original drama series Saving Hope, which is set for NBC and CTV this June, as well as Rookie Blue, which eOne has sold to more than 200 territories. Saving Hope is at the top of the eOne drama slate alongside The Firm, adapted from John Grisham’s international best-selling novel. The AMC originals Hell on Wheels, set in post–Civil War America, and The Walking Dead, which takes place in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, cap off the drama highlights.
 
There’s more than drama on offer from eOne, though. “Our overall slate is comprised of a variety of really strong, compelling programming: network drama and comedy series, family, TV movies, reality, factual and documentaries,” says Valerie Cabrera, the executive VP of eOne Television International. “We’re a one-stop shop—we’ve got it all!”
 
Cabrera adds, “Broadcasters trust eOne to provide them with what they need based on the broad range of programming we offer.”
