One TV executive behind TheBoys and TheLastOfUs says she is 'examining' how long it takes to make seasons of prestige TV shows
Katherine Pope, the Sony Pictures TV Studios president who has overseen hits like The Boys, The Last of Us, and Cobra Kai, says in a new interview that she is not happy about the amount of time that it takes to create seasons of prestige TV series.
Pope says she also thinks that the long delays in between seasons are bad for creators who want to tell multi-season arcs. But exactly how to fix it without sacrificing quality is not something she has an easy answer for. "The thing I've tasked myself and the teams with this year is examining the time – somebody was calling it slippage – the way in which these shows can be as much as two years in between seasons," Pope told Deadline."They can take 16 months to two years for the entire production cycle for a season, and we're talking about eight to 10 episodes.
"I don't think it's good for creators either because they end up spending so much time on each season," Pope added."It's all about making sure that we're protecting the show, and for the creator it's their time and effort and their ability to tell the stories over multiple seasons, which is the art and the beauty of TV, it's a novelization of the characters' stories. When we lose that, we start to lose a key foundational part of our medium.
0commentsPope, who was promoted into her position last summer, is stepping up at an interesting, challenging time. While the end of a number of long-running series from Sony Pictures Television would appear to give her a lot of creative control of the direction Sony will take in the next few years, she is also taking on these responsibilities in the middle of an industry-wide slowdown, with streamers looking to cut costs.
