Deadline:
In one of their first major moves since joining Apple as heads of worldwide video programming, Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht have brought in Matt Cherniss to oversee development.
As a reminder, Van Amburg and Erlicht were hired away from Sony, where they shepherded hits like The Crown, Breaking Bad, and The Black List through production.
Cherniss, a respected veteran network development executive, had been in demand since he recently stepped down as president and general manager of WGN America and Tribune Studios.
Cherniss will be a lieutenant to Amburg and Erlicht. Apple is building a formidable team here. Now all they need is money.
And maybe show-creators who can write?
Ha, did you write the “all they need is money” line already knowing your next post?
Heh. I did. You saw what I did there! ?
These three have a pretty good resume of successful shows. I think they’ll be able to find good writers.
Agreed. But the article, as many others tend to do, more or less glosses over the need.
