TV Mandates for networks and streamers.
This is a list of many of the TV mandates for 2022 for streamers and networks.
They are actively looking for multi-cam like BOY MEETS WORLD, or a version of FRIENDS.
While the idea of something like WEDNESDAY is exciting for them given that they are working with big IP, THE CONSULTANT is actually closer to what they look for as a company.
Fox is looking for workplace comedies but more blue-collar than tech workplaces.
For theatrical, Warner Bros if focused on IP and branded content. And if the project isn’t IP driven then it needs to be filmmaker focused.
Snap Originals is committed to equitable representation on and behind the camera, scaling empathy by empowering producers and talent to share stories that reflect our increasingly diverse world with Snapchat’s 293 Million daily active users.
AMC is doing about 25-30% more development since the launch of AMC+.
Genre agnostic. Exciting talent, interesting stories, stories with a fresh perspective.
Wonderland Sound and Vision is looking for anything female led. Romantic Comedies and straight Romance. And for Sci-fi Thrillers fit in their budget range.
All their projects have a woman at the center of the story. The woman has her own sense of agency and is the hero of her own story.
Lower budget stuff. If anything, they do a number of low-budget co-productions out of Canada
Peacock still exists within the cable department and wants to be writer focused.
African American women (25 to 54) are their main target. 46 years old is key sweet spot for advertisers.
They want projects that have elements of children having their own storylines. Pushing for more representative casts for their shows.
Only buying shows that have a real shot of going forward/ have the right auspices.

Creatively ambitious, high quality, but different from the content on Amazon Prime.
The guiding principle of the Scripted Programming on NatGeo/Disney + is to deepen people’s understanding if the world and their role in it.
Disney + will make shows w/o kids (all adult cast) and still with kids as long as there are meaningful adult entry points.
Overall, Freeform doesn’t want their shows to feel too dark. Definitely lean more towards an aspirational tone.
Here is a breakdown of the television mandates for networks, cable and streamers for the 2020-2021 season.
