Nickelodeon Embarks On New Direction With Its Biggest, Most Wide-Ranking Content Slate Ever

$

0
Nickelodeon is unveiling a new content slate created for today’s kids who are multicultural, family-focused, and in control of their entertainment choices across platforms. With a foundation of supercharging its globally powerful original franchises like SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and PAW Patrol, and welcoming new, acquired properties into its ecosystem, Nickelodeon’s new slate represents a renewing of its commitment to serve all kids, through a multicultural lens; bringing in talent kids love from other platforms and formats; and opening up its demo to capture kid and parent co-viewing, to satisfy this generation’s demand for shared family time.
The slate, announced today by Nickelodeon President Brian Robbins, was put into development in October at the beginning of Robbins’ tenure and will begin to debut on Nick’s platforms this summer.
“We have a laser focus on who kids are today, and what they want, so we are making a wider variety of shows and series for them, and we’re working with brand-new kinds of talent and producers,” said Robbins. “We have a new creative team in place and a renewed energy that we’re harnessing to bring the buzz back to Nick.”
Nick’s new direction was developed against the network’s defining research insights into today’s kids, who: are the most diverse generation ever, with the fastest growing segment being Hispanics; who cite shared experiences with their parents and family as their top priority; and who are in near-total control of their entertainment choices, enabled by any one of the 12 connected devices found in today’s average household.
Robbins: “Kids today are their own programmers, so we have been working very fast to transfer our expertise as television content makers to all the new places and platforms kids are going to,” said Robbins.
“Our vision for a new Nickelodeon is to fill up every screen, of every size, to make an impact on as many consumers as we can and to be at the forefront of conversation for today’s kids and families.”
Highlights of the new slate include: the return of Nick’s iconic All That sketch-comedy series, showcasing a whole new set of kids alongside members of the original cast, with Kenan Thompson serving as an executive producer; a reimagined version of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, hosted by John Cena; an all-new unboxing adventure series starring Ryan of Ryan Toys Review, titled Ryan’s Mystery Playdate; America’s Most Musical Family (working title), a nationwide search and competition to crown the next big family musical act; The Casagrandes, the animated spinoff from The Loud House, featuring a multigenerational Mexican-American family; an untitled scripted music-based series set in a boarding school for the performing arts, produced by Simon Fuller and One Republic’s Ryan Tedder, and featuring original songs and performances in every episode; and ideas in development to spin off the characters from SpongeBob SquarePants into their own stand-alone series, specials and feature-length movies.
Robbins continued: “Everything we’re making will have different formats, for all platforms, so we can travel the audience back and forth from one to the other, while being home base for all the shows, the biggest franchises, the characters and talent they love.”
Details of Nickelodeon’s New Content Slate:
Today’s kids represent the most diverse generation ever. Joining Nick’s diverse programming slate is content to super-serve Hispanic viewers, including:
-The Casagrandes – Premiering in October, this companion to the animated hit The Loud House follows 11-year-old Ronnie Anne after she moves to the city 3 with her older brother Bobby and her mom, where they now live with their big, loving and chaotic multigenerational Mexican-American family, the Casagrandes.
-Santiago of the Seas (formerly The Swashbuckling Adventures of Capitán Calavera) – This interactive animated series follows the adventures of 8-year-old Santiago Montes, a brave and kind-hearted pirate, and features a Spanish-language and Latino-Caribbean culture curriculum.
-The Dora the Explorer Theatrical Release – Paramount Pictures, Paramount Players and Nickelodeon Movies present in association with Walden Media the Dora the Explorer live-action movie, opening in theatres this August. Having spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, nothing could prepare Dora (Isabela Moner) for her most dangerous adventure ever–high school. Always the explorer, Dora quickly finds herself leading Boots (her best
friend, a monkey), Diego (Jeffrey Wahlberg), a mysterious jungle inhabitant (Eugenio Derbez), and a ragtag group of teens on a live-action adventure to save her parents (Eva Longoria, Michael Peña) and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost Inca civilization.
Nickelodeon is working with talent kids love from other platforms, while also creating content featuring their favorite formats and genres.
-Ryan’s Mystery Playdate – Created and produced by pocket.watch, this brand-new live-action preschool series follows YouTube superstar Ryan, of Ryan Toys Review, his parents and animated friends Gus the Gummy Gator and Combo Panda as they work together to tackle a series of imaginative, physical challenges and unbox puzzles to reveal the identity of his mystery playdate.
-Simon Fuller/Ryan Tedder-Produced Untitled Project – A scripted music series set in a boarding performing arts high school, with original music in every episode. A nationwide search will be conducted to cast the show. Simon Fuller is a legendary, multi-hyphenate creator, producer and manager behind iconic franchises such as the global Idol phenomenon and Spice Girls. Grammy Award-winning Ryan Tedder is the frontman of OneRepublic and writer behind countless hit songs from artists ranging from Beyoncé and Adele, to Camila Cabello, Ed Sheeran and Kelly Clarkson, among others.
Nick’s insights reveal that family time is the most important passion point for kids and parents today, with their top priority being to spend time together and look for opportunities through shared experiences.
Today’s families state that watching TV together is their favorite activity, corresponding to the current 10-year high in co-viewing, where 44% of kids’ viewing is with an adult. To capture co-viewing opportunities, Nick is producing shows with built-in appeal to every family member, including:
-Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader – The iconic family game show will return with all-new episodes hosted by John Cena, who will also serve as an executive producer. Mark Burnett, Chairman of Worldwide Television, MGM (Survivor , The Voice) and Barry Poznick, President, Unscripted Television, MGM (Beat Shazam , The World's
Best) will return as executive producers of the reboot, which places kids squarely in the center of the action. The series is slated to premiere this year.
-The Substitute – In this new hidden camera prank show, celebrities are transformed by a team of special effects artists to go undercover as substitute teachers to surprise a class of unsuspecting students. A $25,000 donation will be made to each school. The Substitute is produced by The Intellectual Property Corporation, and Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman (Undercover Boss ), with Mike Harney serving as showrunner.
-America’s Most Musical Family (working title) – This brand-new competition series, produced by The Intellectual Property Corporation, and Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman (So You Think You Can Dance), follows the nationwide search for the most talented family in America.
-Are You Afraid of the Dark? – The beloved anthology series will return this October as a brand-new miniseries and follow new members of the Midnight Society as they gather around a campfire in the woods to share scary stories. The miniseries will coincide with the upcoming Are You Afraid of the Dark? theatrical movie from Paramount Pictures, Paramount Players’ and Nickelodeon Movies, in theaters October 2019.
-All That – Pop-culture phenomenon All That is returning for a new generation of kids. The new weekly sketch-comedy series will showcase an all-new cast of kids, with cast members through the years making special appearances during the season. Kenan Thompson (Saturday Night Live) and Kevin Kay (All That, SpongeBob SquarePants, Lip Sync Battle, Lip Sync Battle
Shorties, Yellowstone) will executive produce, with comedian Jermaine Fowler (Super Donuts, Sorry to Bother You) serving as consulting producer on the series slated to premiere this summer.
Nickelodeon is home to some of the biggest
franchises kids love, and the network is
taking steps to increase these properties’
reach and grow their footprint, as well as
welcome in new franchises, to ensure Nick is the top destination for everything kids want:
-SpongeBob SquarePants – Nick is commemorating the 20th anniversary with the “Best Year Ever,” a tribute that includes an original one-hour special, “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout,” premiering Friday, July 12. Additionally, plans are in place to expand the SpongeBob SquarePants universe with spinoffs focused on the core characters into formats such as new series, specials and feature-length movies. The anniversary will culminate with the May 22, 2020 release of the new SpongeBob theatrical, It’s A Wonderful Sponge, from Paramount Pictures, Paramount Players’ and Nickelodeon Movies.
-Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Season two of the 2D-animated series will premiere this fall, and follow the Turtles as they continue to hone their ninja skills, uncover new, powerful weapons and encounter a world beneath the streets of New York City. The franchise is also being expanded with an original, feature-length animated movie being produced by Nickelodeon Studios for Netflix.
-Blue’s Clues & You! – This remake of the groundbreaking, curriculum-driven interactive series Blue’s Clues brings back beloved puppy Blue for an all- new generation of preschoolers.

The series will be produced by multi-award-winning David Heyman (producer of all eight Harry Potter films, Gravity, Paddington 1 & 2), Karen Davidsen (formerly with Disney and HIT Entertainment) and Simon Quinn (Isle of Dogs , Fantastic Mr. Fox). Paddington is executiveproduced by Rosie Alison (Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Paddington 1 & 2 ) and co-produced by Rob Silva.

To Make Way For Streaming Disney Is Revamping Overseas TV Business

$
0
0

One of the big questions facing Walt Disney Co. as it prepares to launch its Disney+ streaming app is how aggressively will it retreat from selling TV shows and movies to other networks and streaming services, in favor of keeping everything on its own outlets. If recent signals from the company are any guide, Disney is going all in on its own apps.

New details learned by The Information suggests Disney’s shift will be broader than is widely understood, affecting TV services around the world, as well as its own children’s cable channels. Disney executives have told some TV networks in Europe and pay TV services in Latin America that it plans to end most of its licensing deals for Disney-made TV shows and movies in the next two or three years, according to two people familiar with the matter. Disney has previously said it would stop licensing movies to Netflix, but it hasn’t given many other specifics about how its licensing will change.

THE TAKEAWAY
• Disney will end most overseas licensing
in the next 2–3 years
• Disney may close some children’s cable
channels overseas
• Disney has offered Netflix a short-term
overseas licensing extension

Meanwhile, Disney executives are discussing shifting many programs off its children’s channels overseas—Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney XD—to Disney+. Some executives are concerned that there won’t be enough programs left to fill the channels’ airtime, according to one person familiar with the matter.

With that in mind, Disney is considering shuttering at least a couple of channels in some countries, one of the people said.
Another person said that while channel closures have been discussed, that would be driven more by the channels’ poor ratings. It’s not clear which channels are slated for closure, although Disney Channel is its oldest and best known, suggesting it is likely to survive.

Radical Transformation
These shifts illustrate how Disney’s business is being radically transformed as it pushes into streaming, which is slowly but steadily replacing how people watch television. Like the other big entertainment companies, Disney now relies on cable TV for the bulk of its profits. But people are gradually shifting away from cable towards streaming, a shift which threatens the financial underpinnings of the TV industry. Disney is moving more decisively into streaming than other companies, and with its well-known brand name has more of a chance for success. How it does will give some indication of how others, like AT&T’s WarnerMedia, will do with their own services that are also planned.

Even as Disney signals its intention to pull back on licensing deals, it is looking for opportunities to make some quick dollars in the next 18 months. For instance, Disney has offered Netflix the chance to extend some licensing deals for its service in Europe through the end of next year, the people said. It’s not clear whether Netflix is interested in the temporary licensing deal. The offer is separate from Disney’s high-profile deal to license recently released movies to Netflix in the U.S. That deal has ended, at least for movies to be released from this year on. A Netflix spokesman said the company didn’t comment on speculation. How Disney is revamping its approach to licensing TV shows and movies ahead of the streaming launch is a subject of intense interest on Wall Street right now.

The company has planned an investor day on April 11, when it is expected to provide more details about how its business will evolve with the shift to streaming.

In talking to Wall Street analysts over the past 18 months, Disney CEO Bob Iger has said the company will shift at least some programming to Disney+. Last year he said the streaming service “will become the destination globally for our movie library and our television library.” And earlier this month, Mr. Iger said “in some cases” shows or movies that “could have been on” networks will be moved to its new apps.

“We’re doing that because it’s a capital allocation in the direction of long-term growth for the company,” Mr. Iger said in the February earnings call.

Few Specifics
But Mr. Iger has not made clear exactly how much of its licensing business it will give up. Wall Street research firm Moffett Nathanson estimates that abandoning some streaming deals will cut licensing revenue nearly in half to $2.4 billion in 2022, from the firm’s estimate of $4.45 billion in fiscal 2018. At $4.45 billion, Disney’s licensing revenue accounts for 13% of Disney’s total revenue. Aside from Netflix, Disney licenses Star Wars movies to WarnerMedia’s Turner channels in the
U.S., as well as networks and pay TV services around the world.

Disney won’t necessarily shift all the programs to Disney+. It may move some programs aimed at adult audiences, such as those from ABC studios, to Hulu, the streaming service it will take control of as a result of its purchase of Fox’s entertainment assets. Mr. Iger has talked about Hulu being part of Disney’s group of apps, also including its sports streaming service ESPN+. He has also said Disney plans to expand Hulu internationally.

Replacing all of the $4.45 billion would be tough in the near term: Disney would have to sign up 41 million subscribers paying $9 a month at Disney+ to generate the same amount in subscription revenue . Even including Hulu, which has more than 20 million streaming subscribers, would not offset the revenue that could be lost in licensing.

Disney will likely continue to license some shows, however. One person familiar with the matter said Disney will judge licensing deals on a case by case basis, and could extend some into the next year and beyond—though the deals will be shorter in length. It will pull back on licensing as it rolls out Disney+ and other services in different countries overseas.

Another industry executive who deals with Disney said the company has made it clear that its licensing business will “operate differently” going forward as it seeks to prioritize its streaming service. That means selling fewer programs to channels once its streaming service Disney+ rolls out around the world.

Meanwhile, Disney’s plans for a new streaming service is apparently prompting a reaction from Netflix. The company this week cancelled the last of the shows it buys from Disney’s Marvel studio, with the announcement that “The Punisher” and “Jessica Jones” were both ending.

Here's What's Coming Up In April 2019 On The African Disney Channels

Disney Channel & Disney XD:
Disney Channel only has 2 premieres including a brand new animated series 101 Dalmatian Street and another batch of episodes for those who love Bizaardvark. Its nice seeing some animation in the channel especially one which is there for the whole family and not for a specific market. Now let's talk about Disney XD as you know the channel has been going through a ruff patch since the channel might die in a few years or even sooner with the future arrival of Disney+ around the corner. Disney has been investing less time into XD while Disney Channel and Disney Junior schedule is packed with current programming during the day there's Disney XD the most popular channel in Latin America and a decent channel in EMEA (for now) which is packed with repeats with a mini slot for premieres and again REPEATS. The only reason the channel went 24/7 was to align our feeds with several other regions including U.K., Germany, Poland, Spain and EMEA if one does look at the scheduling and programs. April has got to be the worst time for premieres as they only have the 1 timeslot and end before the middle of the month except Star Wars which is once a week even Disney Channel's most popular show DuckTales is treated like Space Chickens in Space because guess what there's no repeats during the day as the channel is flooded with double bill repeats of Lab Rats, Mighty Med and Kickin It' they highlight as new episodes for a couple of days which is not and an error on their part. Then there's new episodes of Star Wars Resistance carrying on from March. Disney XD has been switched for Marvel HQ in India and will be duplicated elsewhere depending on 'market demands' as stated but Germany seems to be rebranding their Disney XD for Marvel HQ now that their YouTube channel transformed into Marvel HQ and doesn't EMEA with a bunch of other international markets share a feed with that region too only time will tell how far the Disney XD Purge will go now that Disney is looking into moving shows from the Disney Channels exclusively to Disney+ with discussions on shutting down a couple of Disney Channels (not Disney Channel) internationally and regional Disney made shows in Europe and Latin America. Even if Africa keeps 3 channels flowing how long will that last now that Marvel is getting scrapped for Disney XD and further Marvel animation goes to Disney Channel, Disney+ and Hulu. Steve Hullett revealed that Disney XD death might come with less content and look the the U.S. already moved Disney XD shows to Disney Channel and any show which was commissioned by Disney XD went to Disney Channel. Disney EMEA (Africa) even started branding shows from Disney XD like DuckTales and possibly Big City Greens as Disney Channel. Even Vikingskool and Best Bugs upcoming shows which looks like Disney XD kind of shows are commissioned and branded off as Disney Channel while Junior gets its on platform. The highlights goes as follows:
