History
Insurrection has a multi-year exclusive comedy pod deal with Jonathan Stern (Wet Hot American Summer, Childrens Hospital), founder of Abominable Pictures, and senior entertainment executive and producer Keith Quinn (Paramount Digital, LivePlanet), and multi-year SciFi production partnership with The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and David Alpert of Skybound Entertainment. The company has a strategic relationship with HarperCollins where key books in SciFi, Drama and Comedy are optioned and developed into digital video and linear television series.
Insurrection announced the series order of its show Drive Share for a U.S. exclusive first window on Verizon Hearst Media Partners' millennial-focused multi-platform digital video channel, Seriously.TV. From creators Rob Huebel (Transparent) and Paul Scheer (The League), the ten half-hour episodes premiered late 2016 on Seriously.TV in shorter form chapters and will be distributed internationally as half-hours by Insurrection Media.
Insurrection Media has partnered with Keshet Digital Studios to coproduce paranormal YA drama The Dead Girls Detective Agency based on the HarperCollins book written by Suzy Cox. TV Writing team Jerica Lieberman and Molly Margraf (ABC's Mistresses) will pen the adaptation of the pilot. Production begins March 2017.
