CBS handed full-season orders to freshman series “Fire Country,” “East New York” and “So Help Me Todd.” The shows are the number one, two and three new series, respectively, on any network. “CBS is off to a tremendous start this season,” said Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment. “We are thrilled to have the three most watched new series, each with their own unique settings, characters and storylines. These dramas are elevating our already successful lineup, resonating with diverse audiences both on-air and on streaming, and continuing to grow each week.”
Netflix is expanding its gaming efforts, including “very seriously exploring a cloud gaming offering,” said VP of Game Development Mike Verdu. Speaking at TechCrunch Disrupt, Verdu said, “We’ll approach this the same way as we did with mobile — start small, be humble, be thoughtful — but it is a step we think we should take. The extension into the cloud is really about reaching the other devices where people experience Netflix.” The streaming company has plans to launch an additional studio in Southern California, according to a Netflix spokesperson, overseen by Chacko Sonny, former executive producer for Activision Blizzard’s Overwatch franchise.
