Hat jetzt nur am Rande mit Berlin Station zu tun, aber Heino Ferch hat heute Abend den Bambi als bester Schauspieler national gewonnen. Nominiert war auch Jannis Niewöhner und Emilia Schürle als Schauspielerin national.

Licensing revenues grew 20% to $1.32 billion, primarily driven by Paramount Television productions, including Shooter, 13 Reasons Why and Berlin Station. Domestic and international licensing revenues increased 32% and 13%, respectively.

Performance highlights:

- Paramount Television continued its significant growth, more than tripling its revenues in the fiscal year through breakout releases including Shooter, 13 Reasons Why and Berlin Station - all of which were renewed for second seasons.
- Paramount continued to execute on its strategic plan by rebuilding the slate, refining its management team and stabilizing costs.
- Notable feature film releases in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 include Daddy's Home 2, a follow-up to the successful 2015 release; and Alexander Payne's Downsizing.

Sowas liest man doch gern!

Ups, das wollte ich eigentlich auch sehen....vergessen! Freut mich, dass Heino Ferch jetzt auch schon so lange erfolgreich ist, ich kenn den noch als jugendlichen Helden!
Und Nicole: Du guckst zuviel Fußball !

Epix Closes Longtime Distribution Gap With Comcast Deal
By Cynthia Littleton


Epix has reached a carriage agreement with Comcast, filling a big gap in its linear distribution that has been a handicap for the pay cabler since its debut in 2009.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed but it is believed to be a traditional premium TV pact rooted in a revenue sharing agreement.

The deal comes about six months after MGM acquired full control of Epix, which had previously been a partnership among MGM, Viacom and Lionsgate. Clearing the Comcast hurdle at long last with the nation’s largest cable operator is a coup for MGM chairman-CEO Gary Barber. It’s important as Epix is in the midst of ramping up its original content offerings and needs wider distribution to make that financially viable.

“Comcast’s Xfinity TV is one of the most innovative and powerful distribution platforms for entertainment content across the United States,” said Barber. “As we increase our investment in original series, expand content offerings and commit more resources to developing Epix’s brand and appeal, we are excited to partner with Comcast and bring Epix’s suite of premium content to their customers.”

It’s no secret that the previous regime at Viacom was a big part of the roadblock for Epix in reaching a deal with Comcast. Relations between Comcast and Viacom under the leadership of former CEO Philippe Dauman were tense. Viacom had responsibility for handling distribution negotiations for Epix under the terms of the joint venture. As soon as Dauman was ousted in August 2016, Epix executives stepped up their efforts to re-engage with Comcast. After MGM acquired full control of Epix, getting a Comcast deal done was the top priority for Barber.

Satcaster DirecTV is now the last major distributor that does not offer Epix. It’s understood that conversations with DirecTV have been sporadic over the years but will now become a priority.

With the German capital as its primary backdrop, a Season 3 production start is being penciled in for this year, with a premiere targeting late 2018. It is unclear yet who of the show’s cast is returning. It has included Richard Armitage, Michelle Forbes, Leland Orser, Ashley Judd, Richard Jenkins and Rhys Ifans.

A prestige push by Epix from the get-go, Berlin Station, created by Olen Steinhauer, debuted in 2016. It is the first Epix scripted series to go to three seasons.

Horwitch, creator AMC’s Rubicon and NBC’s Medical Investigation, was a co-executive producer on the most recent season of Netflix’s House of Cards. He also served as a co-executive producer on Netflix’s Luke Cage and was a writer on Southland. Horwitch is repped by WME, manager Dan Halsted and attorney Renee A. Farrell.
