John-Eric Capps Takes the Helm at DCP for TV Expansion
Big moves are happening at Dylan Clark Productions (DCP), the powerhouse behind “The Batman” and its upcoming offshoot, “The Penguin,” with John-Eric Capps stepping in as the new Executive Vice President of Television. Previously making waves at Sister, where he served as Vice President of Development, Capps brings a ton of experience to the table. This guy knows how to push the envelope, having cut his teeth on projects like FX’s “The Premise” and Max’s “Tokyo Vice.” Talk about credentials!
Dylan Clark himself is hyped about Capps joining the ranks, calling him “a rare talent” with a flair for storytelling and an in-depth understanding of today’s whirling media landscape. Capps isn’t just going to be twiddling his thumbs; he’s set to supercharge DCP’s television slate and strengthen ties with major partners in Hollywood. With so many platforms vying for the next big hit—think Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime—it’s crucial for DCP to stay ahead of the game.
And let’s talk about what’s on the horizon for DCP. Last year was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to the critical acclaim surrounding “The Penguin,” which racked up an impressive 38 nominations and nine wins during awards season. Not to be outdone, their thriller “Carry-On” quickly climbed the streaming charts, sitting securely in the All-Time Top Ten on platforms like Netflix, right behind blockbuster hits like “Bird Box.”
As Capps dives into his new role, DCP is not sitting on its hands. They have exciting projects lined up including an adaptation of Lisa Lutz’s “The Accomplice” with Lily Collins attached and a television series based on Neal Shusterman’s “Arc of a Scythe” for Peacock. Plus, fans are looking forward to “The Batman II,” where director Matt Reeves and star Robert Pattinson are set to team up again, further solidifying DCP’s reputation for high-octane storytelling.
With Capps at the helm, it looks like DCP is primed to keep expanding its footprint in both film and television, creating that globally resonant content audiences crave. Buckle up; it’s going to be an exciting ride!
