Burke and her team are behind 18 returning and 12 new series across broadcast, cable and streaming outlets—including hits like ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” and Apple TV+’s “The Last Thing He Told Me.” The studio recently brought Disney+ series “Percy Jackson and The Olympians,” CBS’s “Tracker” and FX’s “FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans” to the masses and made headlines by moving Murphy’s long-running drama “9-1-1” from Fox to ABC for the 2024 season.
What celebrity would you hire for your company? Taylor Swift, obviously. She has the mind of a marketing genius and a loyal army that would flock to anything she’s associated with! Imagine the ratings of a Taylor Swift x Percy Jackson crossover episode.
Book, movie or TV series that greatly influenced my leadership style: Jacqueline Carlyle from “The Bold Type.” She’s such a fashionable, badass lady. Like a nicer Miranda Priestly.
What emerging industry trend are you most excited by? Dare I say there’s a renaissance of network TV happening? Look at those “Tracker” ratings! “Ghosts!” People are loving a scheduled, weekly release on primetime… just look at “True Detective.”
TV series everyone should binge: “Abbott Elementary”! Not-so-subtle 20th plug, but it’s also a feel-good show during hard times.
