Katherine Pope was named President of Sony Pictures Television Studios last summer, 15 years after she previously ran a TV studio, NBC Universal TV Studios (now Universal Television). Broadcast net…

under the previous regime. The top 2 Sony TV comedy execs who exited three months ago are yet to be replaced, triggering some rumors that the studio may be scaling back on comedy.: I’ve been around long enough and seen enough things declared dead — drama’s dead, comedy’s dead scripted’s dead, unscripted’s dead. I am seeing them all roar back. So I don’t really believe any genre is ever going to be dead.

We’ve made some changes in the comedy department and we still have leadership in that department to fill. So, I understand why those rumors are out there, but we’ve said very clearly we’re not getting out of the comedy business.‘The Afterparty’: Yes, it’s really hard. As I said, I produced a broadcast comedy for seven seasons, and it was the joy of my life. And I really would love to be able to do that again.

So I think we’re going to see writers emerging in the marketplace, looking at deals a little differently. I think the sort of standard exclusive overall deal that runs two to four years, I’m not sure a lot of people are going to want that. These shows are big, some of them are giant, they might as well be blockbuster movies every episode, but at the same time, it’s not great for the fans to have that big period of time in between. It’s awkward because the platforms have to re-market a show two years after the previous season came out, and it’s not great for us as producers to have these shows that we can’t repeat in any kind of compressed timeline.
