New York Times: here were 352 original, scripted television series last year on broadcast, cable and streaming services. None were televised on Epix, the premium television network known for its selection of movies. Not anymore. On Thursday, Epix is to announce that it, too, is jumping into the competitive world of scripted television with two original series. The two series start production in the fall and are to make their debut on the network next year. A series with MGM Studios also is in the works.
