‘Dancing With Sharks’ and ‘Renovating the Bachelor Mansion’ Among First Orders as Channing Dungey Shares Plans for Warner Bros. Discovery’s U.S. Networks


'Dancing With Sharks,' 'Renovating the Bachelor Mansion' among first orders as Channing Dungey shares cable network strategy at Warner Bros. Discovery.

Now, prior to WBD’s upfront presentation on Wednesday, Dungey spoke to Variety about strategy for the networks and her first round of announcements — including two that harken back to her days as ABC’s entertainment prexy. The second one is leaning into our ‘One WBD’ philosophy, which for me, means deepening our relationships with Max and also hopefully leveraging my position as head of Warner Bros.

That project, previously called “Debriefing the President” (and based on the book of that name by former CIA officer John Nixon), marked TNT’s first scripted series pickup in several years.
