For the past two weeks, Warner Bros. TV’s cable division has been putting together a detailed presentation highlighting the series’ performance and following as well as the producers’ creative plans for Season 4. The series will be pitched to digital and cable outlets in the coming days. I hear Netflix and Amazon are expected to hear the pitch, with Amazon expressing early interest. Netflix is the most logical destination for the series as the streaming service already has the rights to the series’ existing seasons as part of its multi-series streaming deal with Warner Bros.
I heard there were no plans for Hulu to hear the pitch. Hulu also had been considered a strong possibility as its new head of content, Craig Erwich, developed and sold Longmire while running Warner Horizon. That could change, with Yahoo, which recently rescued cancelled NBC comedy Community, also a remote possibility though it is not subscription-based and relies on advertisers.
TNT, which would’ve been a logical choice as it is a sister network to Warner Horizon, is said to not be interested.
