The Thing About Pam

Top shows are…

The Endgame

The Endgame is a pulse-pounding, high-stakes thriller about Elena Federova, a very recently captured international arms dealer and brilliant criminal mastermind who even in captivity orchestrates a number of coordinated bank heists, and Val Turner, the principled, relentless and socially outcast FBI agent who will stop at nothing to foil her ambitious plan.

The Thing About Pam

The Thing About Pam is based on the 2011 murder of Betsy Faria that resulted in her husband Russ’s conviction, although he insisted he didn’t kill her. He was later exonerated. This brutal crime set off a chain of events that would expose a diabolical scheme deeply involving Pam Hupp.

Asia focus in 2022

Our primary focus in Asia in 2022 is to make our partners aware of all of the amazing content we have to offer from our Kids & Family catalogue, with full linear and SVOD/AVOD rights available for many of the titles. Our Kids & Family portfolio has titles based on iconic IP like Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Dragons: The Nine Realms, The Croods: Family Tree and Madagascar: A Little Wild. But we also have new, original properties creating their own legions of fans around the globe, including Take Note, which is a live-action, scripted musical-comedy talent show that is truly different from anything we’ve ever seen before, and the hugely popular Gabby’s Dollhouse; its live action-animated hybrid style is a first for DreamWorks Animation and it’s taking the world by storm with its magical and adorable world of cat characters.”
