with “Criminal Minds” and “Teen Wolf” creator Jeff Davis, in what it says will be the first of a series of direct deals with creators. This new model is designed to remove some of the layers from the creative process,“We’re being really strategic about looking for smart ways to develop the best content without the extreme overhead that comes with a big studio,” he said.
“That removal of layers has become really attractive to a lot of talent,” he said. “We have been meeting with writers and managers and some producers and directors to say, ‘Come make a deal with us, we’re only going to make a handful of these deals, we really believe in you and your voice, and we’ll remove all the layers and we’ll have a very simple, organic, creative experience.
Fox Entertainment “paid a premium” for Davis to keep all of his broadcast ambitions at the Fox network, though Thorn would not specify how much.The goal is for Davis to develop three or four projects for the network annually, allowing him flexibility to work elsewhere, said Thorn, calling it a “win-win.”
