Blue Ribbon Content
On a sidenote, this makes since. You have Jade Smith on Gotham, Will Smith possibly Black Manta and you can bet Jaden Smith will be in talks very soon for Static.
Warner Bros. announced Blue Ribbon Content as the name of its newly created short-form digital division, which will develop and produce live-action and animated series for digital platforms, and revealed a slate of content under the banner including spinoffs from the DC Comics franchise.
Blue Ribbon Content is headed by Sam Register, who assumed oversight of digital development and production of the studio’s efforts after being named president of Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Digital Series in April. His team at Blue Ribbon Content includes Andrew Mellett, SVP, distribution and strategy, who manages the new division’s financial operations, oversees business affairs, and handles all distribution and sponsorship deals.
Blue Ribbon Content’s first development slate comprises several original program concepts as well as new shows from Warner Bros. Entertainment’s collection of intellectual property.
Those include shows from or supervised by creative talents including Akiva Goldsman (“Paranormal Activity”), Reginald Hudlin (“Django Unchained,” the “House Party” movies), Bruce Timm (“Batman: The Animated Series”) and Rob Thomas (“Veronica Mars”); a new “Mortal Kombat” series; multiple projects featuring DC Comics characters, including a live-action version of Static Shock (pictured, above); and a virtual-reality experience based on “Batman: The Animated Series.”
