Skydance TV Expands: Doubles Series Output Amid Industry Pullback, Sets First-Look Pact With Undisputed Cinema


Skydance Television's output has doubled in less than two years under the direction of president Matt Thunell, formerly with Netflix.

And in that time, Thunell — who previously ran spectacle and event programming at the streamer — has completed his first major assignment from Skydance boss David Ellison and chief creative officer Dana Goldberg: doubling their TV series output. “We were founded nearly 10 years ago on the TV side to be a slight counterpoint to the feature group, which is largely focused on gigantic action, adventure, sci-fi and fantasy films,” Thunell said. Skydance TV is looking beyond the status quo to make sure its portfolio maintains the right ratio of splashy titles based on existing IP and original ideas that are artistic passion projects.
