Richman and Kahn said in a statement: “The TV we’re developing for Sky Vision will not only work in the States but will also travel well internationally. Our taste is eclectic and our shows will be too, drawing on a wide range of subject-matter from sci-fi to crime to compelling historical events. Sky Vision has vision, which makes it the best of partners.”

Jane Millichip, managing director of Sky Vision, said: “Jenette and Adam are a quality team. They have a fantastic track record, and bring incredible creative talent and commercial ambition to this partnership. They instinctively zero in on great stories with universal appeal, and balance quality-storytelling with commercial flair.”
