"We couldn't be more thrilled to announce the renewal of our deal with Andrew Mittman and his brilliant team at 1.21... We can't wait to see what the future holds as we continue to build on our already strong creative relationship."
MGM Television is positioned as a premium scripted production company targeting bold, culturally resonant drama series and limited series for streaming and broadcast platforms. The company's strategic edge lies in locking in proven creative talent through overall deals, then developing projects across multiple formats simultaneously. The renewed overall deal with Andrew Mittman's 1.21 banner is a clear signal of that approach: 1.21 is actively developing series, limited series, and features for partners including Amazon and Warner Bros., with MGM Television as the producing home. That model, first-look relationships with Oscar-caliber and commercially proven producers, reflects the broader studio trend of securing premium scripted pipeline before projects reach the open market.
On the production side, MGM Television's highest-profile active title is "Wednesday" for Netflix, which has been renewed for a third season. The company also has "Hotel Cocaine" and "The Book of Cold Cases" in its recent acquisition slate. Through the 1.21 partnership, projects currently in development include the series "El Gato Negro" for Amazon, a limited series adaptation of "Dial M for Murder," and a feature remake of "Attack of the 50ft Woman" at Warner Bros.
Writers and producers seeking to work with MGM Television are best served by approaching through established representation channels, as the company's pipeline is substantially built through overall-deal relationships with banner producers. Projects that align with prestige drama, genre-inflected limited series, or culturally resonant scripted content for major streaming platforms are most likely to find traction here.

Does MGM Television accept unsolicited scripts or pitches?
Based on available signals, MGM Television builds its scripted pipeline primarily through overall deals with established production banners, such as the renewed arrangement with Andrew Mittman's 1.21. This structure suggests the company is not a typical open-submission shop. Writers without existing relationships at the company are strongly advised to approach through literary representation or established producing partners who already have a foothold at MGM Television.
How does MGM Television attach to and develop projects?
MGM Television develops projects by partnering with banner producers under overall deals, giving those producers a home base to develop series, limited series, and features simultaneously. The 1.21 deal is a working example: 1.21 is developing projects across formats for platforms including Amazon and Warner Bros., with MGM Television as the producing entity. This co-development model allows MGM Television to maintain a diversified slate without sourcing every project independently.
What is MGM Television currently producing?

How do you get a project to MGM Television?
The most reliable access pathway is through representation, specifically literary managers and agents who have existing relationships with MGM Television's development executives or with banner producers operating under overall deals at the company.
