The End of Peak TV Is Finally Here
Matt is joined by Bloomberg\u2019s Lucas Shaw to discuss the recent dearth of hit TV shows and whether the current state of the streaming landscape marks the end of peak TV. Will we finally see a pullback in the number of TV shows produced each year? They discuss which streamers are likely to reduce their output and which will continue to push ahead, and they predict how far we could drop from last year's record 599 scripted U.S. television shows. Matt and Craig finish the show with a prediction about Paramount Global\u2019s potential sale of BET.\n\nFor a 20 percent discount on Matt\u2019s Hollywood insider newsletter, \u2018What I\u2019m Hearing ...,\u2019 click this link: puck.news/thetown\xa0\n\nEmail us your thoughts! thetown@spotify.com\n\nHost: Matt Belloni\nGuest: Lucas Shaw\n\nProducer: Craig Horlbeck\nTheme Song: Devon Renaldo\nLearn more about your ad choices.
