"Nobody Knows Anything"
- Screenwriter William Goldman famously summed up Hollywood with the above quote in his book "Adventures in The Screen Trade". We know this is true because so many TV series is the US get canceled after just one season. Despite this, International TV Networks will spend millions of dollars acquiring these shows. Who wants to waste money on a dud?
- When it comes to acquisitions, Transatlantic Television prides itself in defying Mr. Goldman. We have a proven track record of identifying which shows will be successful – well in advance of their air date. We read every pilot script, watch every show, assessing the network, scheduling, casting & auspices to defy the odds and pick critical and commercial hits. Evaluating shows at an early stage opens the door to pre-buys and allows our clients to stay ahead of the competition in the cutthroat acquisitions market.
- In our 15 years as consultants to Channel 4 in the UK we have been instrumental in the acquisition of hit shows such as Homeland, Handmaid's Tale, Fargo, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, New Girl and many more
