TNT Greenlights CIA Miniseries As Network Eyes Potential Scripted Ramp-Up Post Write-Down & Restructuring
TNT has greenlighted four-hour miniseries Debriefing the President, about the 2003 interrogation of deposed Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.

The recent executive restructuring, which brings the cable networks, including TNT, TBS and TruTV, which have traditions in scripted programming, under the same umbrella as Warner Bros.

Of course, in the current linear TV economic environment that triggered WBD’s write-down, price point is important, so potential scripted series for TNT would have to be done with a very disciplined financial approach.
