Warner Bros TV Boss Channing Dungey On ‘The Pitt’ Success, ‘Potter’, ‘Lasso’, ‘Big Bang’ Spinoff And Navigating Broadcast & Streaming As Indie Studio
In an interview, Warner Bros TV boss Channing Dungey discusses 'Harry Potter', the return of 'Ted Lasso', Season 2 of 'The Pitt' and TV business.
In an interview with Deadline, Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group | WBD US Networks, spoke of the pressure of tackling beloved titles and provided updates including whether Ted Lasso could tell the story of a women’s soccer team over a three-season arc as it did with the men’s. While the studio has an established cable reality business, which is expected to grow as Dungey now also oversees Warner Bros Discovery’s U.S. networks, and it also produces NBC’s flagship The Voice, its unscripted brand is probably most closely associated with The Bachelor franchise on ABC, which has been going for 23 years, spawning multiple spinoffs. A significant number of WBTV’s current series portfolio is based on company IP, from a slew of live-action and animated DC properties including Peacemaker, Lanterns and Creature Commandos to Dune: Prophecy, IT: Welcome to Derry, Scooby-Doo, a One Tree Hill sequel at Netflix, a Crazy Rich Asians adaptation at Max with Adele Lim, and, of course, Harry Potter.
