Discovery Introduces Scripted Miniseries ‘Klondike,’ I.D. Adds ‘Elder Skelter’
Posted in: Uncategorized
Discovery Channel is entering the scripted fray with its first miniseries, the network announced at its upfront presentation to media buyers and advertisers Thursday evening.
“Klondike,” about six strangers and their fight for survival and wealth in a small town, is based on Charlotte Gray’s book, “Gold Diggers: Striking It Rich in the Klondike.”
Discovery joins other cable networks, like FX, that are moving into miniseries. FX said at its upfront last week that it will make its first foray into miniseries and limited series with “Fargo,” based on the 1996 Coen brothers movie, next spring.
