Facebook in talks to produce original shows
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Facebook is in talks with Hollywood studios about producing scripted, TV-quality shows, with an aim of launching original programming by late summer, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.
The social networking giant has indicated that it was willing to commit to production budgets as high as $3 million per episode, in meetings with Hollywood talent agencies, the Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Facebook is hoping to target audiences from ages 13 to 34, with a focus on the 17 to 30 range. The company has already lined up Strangers, a relationship drama, and a game show, Last State Standing, the report said.
The company is expected to release episodes in a traditional manner, instead of dropping an entire season in one go like Netflix and Amazon.com, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The company is also willing to share its viewership data with Hollywood, the report said.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
