After forming a joint venture to create and produce unscripted content last year, Tyler Perry Studios and Pantheon Media Group have struck a multi-series development deal with A+E Global Media. As part of the deal, Tyler Perry Studios and Pantheon Media Group (formerly Asylum Entertainment) will develop unscripted fare across different genres and platforms for the Lifetime and A&E networks.

Development is currently underway on a number of projects as part of this collaboration. Antoinetta Stallings, Vice President of Unscripted at Tyler Perry Studios, and LaNeé Griffin, Senior VP of Development and Programming at Pantheon, will oversee development and production of projects geared toward A+E.

The partnership was announced by A+E this week during their upfront presentation to advertisers. “Tyler Perry’s unique ability to craft stories that deeply connect with audiences is unparalleled,” stated Elaine Frontain Bryant, the exec VP and head of programming at A&E, Lifetime and LMN. “We are thrilled to welcome Tyler Perry to the A+E family and cannot wait to see the incredible content Tyler Perry Studios and Pantheon will bring to A+E Global Media.”
