Morgan Spurlock

What this episode covers

Having made a name for himself in the documentary film business, Morgan Spurlock has since brought his talents to the small screen. He parlayed the success of his hit 2004 doc Super Size Me into a TV series for FX, 30 Days, which debuted the following year. Exploring yet another new platform, Spurlock teamed up with Hulu for A Day in the Life. The series helped jumpstart Hulu’s move into long-form original content. FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME) signed a global first-look deal for Hulu original programming, and A Day in the Life was the first title it took out to the international market under the pact. FME and Spurlock have since continued their relationship. The company entered into a first-look agreement with Spurlock’s production company, Warrior Poets. The deal sees FME representing the Sky Atlantic HD commission New Britannia, in which Spurlock dissects the eccentricities of British culture. The pact also includes Failure Club, originally produced for Yahoo! in the U.S. In this video interview, Spurlock talks to TV Real Weekly about his experience with producing for digital platforms, and also let’s us in on what new projects he’s working on.
