FOX ENTERTAINMENT AND HANK STEINBERG ENTER BROADCAST DIRECT DEAL

Prolific Creator & Executive Producer to Develop Dramas for FOX, Bolstering FOX Entertainment's Roster of Broadcast Direct Partners

Executive Producer of FOX's Highly Anticipated Midseason Medical Drama Series Doc Expands His Relationship with the Network and Studio Through New Agreement

September 5, 2024, Los Angeles, CA -- Veteran television writer and producer Hank Steinberg and FOX Entertainment have entered a broadcast direct deal, it was jointly announced today by Steinberg and Michael Thorn, President, FOX Television Network.

Known for creating the hit, seven-season police procedural drama Without a Trace for CBS, the post-apocalyptic drama The Last Ship for TNT and ABC's social justice legal drama For Life, among many other television projects, Steinberg is currently executive producer of FOX's much-anticipated medical drama Doc, which is based on the globally acclaimed Italian series, Doc - Nelle tue mani, and slated to debut as part of the network's midseason lineup.

Under the terms of this new deal, Steinberg expands his collaboration with FOX Entertainment, developing new, FOX-owned scripted dramas for the network.

"The experience of working on Doc with Michael, Brooke Bowman and the entire FOX team has been one of the most rewarding of my career. Their passion and support from the moment we pitched the show has been unwavering, and Michael's clarity and vision as the distributor of the content creates such a cohesive dynamic within which to work," said Steinberg. "I've always admired the risk-taking of FOX's brand within the realm of network programming, and I really look forward to continuing and expanding on our success together."

"Hank is an invaluable creative partner and collaborator, already delivering the intense new medical procedural Doc to the network," said Thorn. "Expanding this relationship builds on Hank's proven track record for creating undeniable, broad-appeal franchises, and with his incomparable voice, will bring even more incredible, unexpected entertainment to FOX's audiences worldwide."

Steinberg joins FOX Entertainment's impressive portfolio of broadcast direct deals, including writer/producer Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty, Community) and producer/actor Denis Leary (Rescue Me, The Job, The Moodys, The Ice Age franchise), which led to series orders for the hit animated comedy Krapopolis and the upcoming midseason comedy Going Dutch, respectively. Academy Award-winning filmmaker Rodney Rothman (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), creator/writer/producer Matt Nix (Burn Notice, The Gifted), and writer/producer Justin Adler (Life in Pieces, Maggie) also have high profile projects in active development through direct deals with the network.

FOX's new medical drama Doc is executive produced by Steinberg, Barbie Kligman and Erwin Stoff, with Kligman also serving as showrunner. The series stars Molly Parker (House of Cards) as the hard-charging, brilliant Dr. Amy Larsen, Chief of Internal and Family Medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis. After a brain injury erases the last eight years of her life, Amy must navigate an unfamiliar world where she has no recollection of patients she's treated, colleagues she's crossed, the soulmate she divorced, the man she now loves and the tragedy that caused her to push everyone away. She can rely only on her estranged 17-year-old daughter, whom she remembers as a 9-year-old, and a handful of devoted friends, as she struggles to continue practicing medicine, despite having lost nearly a decade of knowledge and experience. Doc is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and FOX Entertainment Studios.

About Hank Steinberg

Hank Steinberg wrote the 2001 HBO film 61*, a biographical drama about the legendary home-run race between Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle of the 1961 Yankees. The film was directed by Billy Crystal and starred Thomas Jane and Barry Pepper. 61* garnered 12 Emmy nominations, including Best Motion Picture for Television and Best Writing. Steinberg was also nominated for a WGA Award for the film. He followed up 61* with the Robert F. Kennedy biographical drama RFK for the cable network FX. Premiering August 25, 2002, it detailed Kennedy's life following the assassination of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, in 1963.

Steinberg then created the hit CBS show Without a Trace, which aired from September 26, 2002, to May 19, 2009. The series followed the cases of a FBI Missing Persons Unit in New York City. During his tenure as executive producer and showrunner, the drama won several Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe for lead actor Anthony LaPaglia, as well as earning SAG and Humanitas nominations.

Steinberg also created and was executive producer of the 2006 ABC series The Nine, which he wrote with his sister, KJ Steinberg. In 2010, HarperCollins published Steinberg's novel, Out of Range, which sold to Paramount Pictures, where Steinberg adapted the book into a screenplay. Steinberg later co-created and executive produced TNT's 2014-2018 drama series The Last Ship, which follows a naval destroyer crew after a pandemic kills most of Earth's population.

He then went on to create and serve as an executive producer of the ABC American legal drama For Life, which premiered February 11, 2020. The series is a fictional legal and family drama inspired by the life of convict turned attorney Isaac Wright, Jr. The success of the show led his Channel Road Productions company to an overall deal with Sony Pictures Television.

In 2023 Steinberg, along with showrunner Barbie Kligman, adapted Italian drama Doc: Nelle Tue Mani for an American audience. Doc, starring Molly Parker in the titular role, will premiere on FOX in January 2025. Steinberg serves as the Executive Producer.
