AEW has a lot of things in the pipeline, and they might be branching out into even more avenues soon enough. A new job posting piqued a lot of interest as fans are left to wonder what Tony Khan’s company has in store.
A new Warner Bros. Careers posting reveals that the company is in search for a new Director in Scripted Development and Programming. There are little details about the position, but they did supply the following opportunity overview:
Starting in August 2021 AEW is expanding from one two-hour weekly live show to a second weekly live one-hour show as well as adding quarterly specials. As well, we have 4 other AEW series in various stages of development (including Rhodes to the Top to be launched this year) and are helping them expand into various ancillary businesses such as comics, NFTs, EST distribution, streaming, etc. The project hire will primarily focus on helping with creative oversight of AEW on all fronts and helping to facilitate workflow across various departments such as biz dev, marketing, pr, etc. Secondarily, hire will assume back-up responsibilities for all current TNets Original Scripted Programming functions.
AEW has Dynamite already and Rampage is coming on August 13th. This will be quite an interesting time for AEW, because they could have even more extracurricular programming besides the already announces Rhodes To The Top reality television show.
