WWE Studios To Develop TV Shows, Vince McMahon Comments

WWE Studios was founded in 2002, and since then the studio has released quite a few films that have been met with varying levels of success. The studio is currently involved in several projects at the moment, and now it looks like an expansion is underway.

Deadline reports that WWE Studios is set to take a multi-platform approach as the studio will be developing scripted, non-scripted, family and animated shows for television.

Michael Luisi who has been in charge of the studio since 2011 commented on the expansion, and he also noted that it will open up new opportunities for the stars of the WWE.

“Our new expanded focus on television and digital continues to push WWE Studios as a multi-platform production company, with the ability to create original content for global distribution as we have successfully done for the big screen. We look forward to identifying key partners to work alongside us while creating opportunities to use our on-screen WWE talent in new and exciting ways.”

The WWE brand is always expanding, and Vince McMahon emphasized that this new initiative will allow WWE to establish their brand in other genres.

“Given the size of our fan base and their appetite for WWE programming well beyond our core in-ring shows, this is the ideal time to further establish the WWE brand with new genres across platforms. WWE Studios is open for business with this new TV and digital initiative.”
