- Sony Affirm’s TV Division
The faith-based side of Sony Pictures is in the works to launch a television division.
Movieguide® previously reported:
Sony executives have praised Peluso’s keen eye for content, especially in faith-based projects.
“[Peluso’s] understanding of the genre as well as his strong relationships within the faith community and with filmmakers have been key to our success,” said Steven Bersch, President, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions (SPWA) in 2013.
Chris Parnell and Jason Clodfelter, Co-Presidents at Sony Pictures Television Studios, are equally excited to move into television.
“We have been so impressed with the films that Rich Peluso and his Affirm team bring to the big screen, and feel that we’ve found a perfect partner to translate that brand to the small screen,” Parenell and Clodfelter said in a statement.
“We can’t wait to begin to develop series under the Affirm Television banner,” they said.
