Sony Pictures TV Plans Digital Screening Experience

As an alternative to the traditional L.A. Screenings event in Los Angeles, Sony Pictures Television (SPT) is creating a digital screening experience to present its slate of new content to clients around the globe.

SPT will present the company’s new slate via a virtual and on-demand screening experience. The virtual screenings will complement localized activities in select markets, with further details to be announced in the weeks ahead. The Sony Pictures 2020 Screenings will be made available to clients in May. Content to be featured in the digital screening includes trailers and full-length episodes, as well as information about the series from executive producers.

Among the titles to be featured are the comedy series Woke and adult animated comedy Crossing Swords, both premiering on Hulu, as well as the action-drama Coyote, starring Michael Chiklis, and horror drama Chapelwaite, starring Oscar winner Adrien Brody. Global series include the Sara Pascoe comedy Out of Her Mind, the historical drama Angel of Hamburg and the Aiden Turner and Freddie Highmore murder-mystery drama Leonardo.

“This will be a novel way to showcase our upcoming television and movie slates,” said Keith Le Goy, president of distribution and networks for Sony Pictures Television. “As we go through these unprecedented times, the value of great content in providing joy, laughter and escape to people around the world has perhaps never been greater. We—and our creators and talent—are proud to present our amazing content to our global customers.”
