Harry and Meghan’s exit from the British royal family could not have come at a better time for CNN. However, it’s not just the constant news coverage that is a boon for the WarnerMedia brand but th…

, the tragic story of a SeaWorld trainer killed by a 12,000-pound orca in 2010, but Entelis said that she knew it needed to move to a commissioning model to keep on top. “Pretty quickly we realized we were going to be outbid by the big guys, who were already well established so we started commissioning. We would not have survived if we had to wait for film festivals to bid on something against people with far deeper pockets,” she said.

The production community, which includes A-list directors such as Todd Douglas Miller, Betsy West and Julie Cohen, Frédéric Tcheng and Dawn Porter, has responded by bringing it top-tier ideas. One producer told Deadline that Entelis has “excellent taste” and “gets behind films. “She gives producers creative freedom, and when she offers notes or direction they help. That’s not always the case with other buyers,” the source added.

The latter aired on Memorial Day after its Off Broadway run, something that spurred Jeff Zucker, Chairman, WarnerMedia News and Sports & President, CNN Worldwide, on to the idea. “We figured out how to put it together for television. It was very much an experiment and we were really happy with how it turned out. It’s not necessarily something we’re going to do a lot of but it did give us confidence to do it. If it’s there in front of us, I think we would do more,” Entelis added.

Entelis said that the series came about following a conversation with HBO Max content chief Sarah Aubrey. “We knew that some of the projects that we had in the development pipeline were not necessarily going to make it on to CNN, not because they were not wonderful but because either they were similar to another project or something changed in the environment in terms of timing. It gave us a place to keep going with those projects that would be very valuable to HBO Max,” she said.
