The New York Post is entering the world of television and film. The New York-based outlet has reportedly inked a deal with Asylum Entertainment that will provide a pathway for its stories to be developed into documentaries, limited series and much more.
“The New York Post boasts an impressive history in unearthing some of the most fascinating, headline-grabbing stories throughout the world,” Asylum Entertainment Group CEO Steve Michaels said.
“Through our continued collaboration, we’re able to reach new audiences and dive into complex elements and perspectives through TV’s storytelling devices.”
The New York-based outlet is far from the first media outlet to ink a deal with a production imprint. Previously, the New York Times locked in a deal with FX and Hulu. Moreover, the Washington Post locked in a deal with Imagine Entertainment. Not to mention, Breaklight Pictures used reporting from Hannah Frishberg to develop Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed for Discovery+.
“The AEG team implicitly understands how to adapt for television both the high-end journalism and brash attitude of the New York Post,” New York Post Entertainment President Troy Searer said.
“We’re excited to build on this already successful collaboration.”
