How To Develop, Package, Pitch and Sell Your Limited Series To A Streamer or Network

A new 4-part class taught by a 2-time Emmy nominee The executive producer of the NatGeo/Disney+ limited series GENIUS MLK/X will teach you how you can get your own limited series off the ground. Bonus! You will get the pilot script to GENIUS: EINSTEIN and see an actual pitch document that Sam created for a new limited series. Over the last several years, the limited series has become one of the most exciting, competitive, and acclaimed formats in the entertainment industry. Limited series like Hulu’s DOPESICK, Paramount+’s THE OFFER, Netflix’s THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT, Amazon’s UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, and HBO’s CHERNOBYL have become global phenomena and greatly boosted the careers of the creatives behind them. So how do you develop the material and package it together to increase the probability of a sale or production order? Where do the best limited series ideas come from? And what differentiates a generally good story from source material that really makes sense for the limited series format? Sam Sokolow is a two-time Emmy-nominated producer, perhaps best known for his work in developing and producing the Emmy-nominated limited series GENIUS for National Geographic Channel & Disney +, one of the first prestige limited series to find a wide audience. Over his career, Sam has executive produced 18 original TV series and set up dozens of television and film projects at major studios and distributors in Hollywood and is well-versed at finding success developing, pitching, and selling his projects. Exclusively for Stage 32 in this in-depth 4-session class, Sam will teach you how to develop, pitch, and sell limited series to a streamer or network by first learning how to identify source material, packaging talent into your project, and identifying the buyers. He’ll review the pilot script for GENIUS: EINSTEIN to highlight what makes a world-class limited series pilot work. He’ll also show you how to build the pitch, approach the buyers, and even share what the deals look like. Sam will even share examples of the emails and deal structures he's used to package his projects. Plus! Sam will walk you through a real pitch deck he used for a limited series he worked on, so you can see how he put all the pieces together to ultimately pitch and sell the project.
