How CBS Studios & Paramount TV Studios Are Divvying Up Streaming Series Slate: From ‘Reacher’ & ‘Cross’ To ‘Murderbot’ & ‘Clueless’

Here is how CBS Studios and Paramount TV Studios are divvying up their streaming series slates, including 'Reacher', 'Murderbot', 'Cross', 'Clueless'.

deadline.com

Two streaming series originally developed by the former PTVS that CBS Studios took over after the former’s demise — Apple TV+’s Murderbot, renewed for Season 2, and the upcoming Little House On the Prairie for Netflix — will remain at CBS Studios, as will CBS Studios’ homegrown streaming projects including the Star Trek universe on Paramount+.

There is also a general agreement on the development of the now-defunct PTVS, which had moved to CBS Studios. The majority of the slate, dominated by Paramount Pictures IP, will revert back to PTVS, which will develop series based on Paramount film titles moving forward, along with shows based on IP from the library of Miramax, 49% owned by Paramount.

There are a handful of exceptions; projects in active development to which CBS Studios has attached talent including Galaxy Quest and Flashdance, will stay put.

CBS Studios also is keeping the Clueless sequel series with Alicia Silverstone, which is in the works at Peacock. While Clueless is a Paramount movie title, CBS Studios had been working on cracking the IP for TV over the past seven years or so, going through multiple incarnations.
