In conversation with Deadline, Channing Dungey breaks down Warner Bros TV’s comedy business

Dungey admits that there’s some titles that she and her team pitch to writers under deals atand they receive a “fair amount” of incoming calls from writers and producers on old IP.

But, she cautions: “The truth of it is, in the course of my career, I’ve worked on many, many, many shows that were inspired by IP, and a majority of those shows were not successful. If you have a great title, you can certainly market it and you can get a certain amount of people to show up because they either have a fondness for the title. But there has to really be a reason for the reboot or the retelling to exist.
