Vulturebroke the newsof Pops pursuit ofODAATin April.
[Sony] was relentless, and were so grateful, Kellett told Vulture Thursday morning.
Initially, industry speculation centered around the possibility ofODAATmoving to the CBS Corporations streaming platform, CBS All Access.
No such language prevented the show from moving to a traditional linear online grid such as Pop, however.
Is this something we could go after?
The timing proved fortuitous for this deal on at least two fronts.
And when you look atOne Day at a Time, you see it does the same [thing].
They deal with inclusion and love and acceptance and family.
They pull on your emotions and they make you laugh.
There are such parallels to what helpedSchitts Creekbreak through on Pop.
Added Royce, We really seem to fit in with their brand, with their philosophy of the internet.
They have assured us we can make the show we want to make, Kellett said.
And writing toward act breaks is actually an exciting challenge were sort of looking forward to.
And one last thank you to Pop for having the guts to be that first cable web connection.
Even this I get to experience at 96.
Its really important to us, Sony Pictures Television president Jeff Frost told Vulture.
The same day we heard from Netflix, we started reaching out to everyone we could reach out to.
We believe in our shows, Frost said.
As long as there is story to tell we want to ensure producers can tell that story.
None of the parties involved in the deal would talk specifics, but the new season ofODAATwont be cheap.
Its a big swing for Pop, Schwartz said.
But Sony really came to the table.
Everyone was so passionate about this show, and everybody was willing to make it work.
Its still a healthy license fee, Frost said.
Were sad, but were also excited that theyre being lifted up.
And Mike and I have already been reading a bunch of great writers, some really exciting people.
So well have some original staff and some fresh talent that we can show the ropes.
I hope it becomes our huge flagship series that goes on for five, six, seven seasons.
That would be the dream, he said.
And Rita isnt going to stop even after seven seasons, Royce quipped.
She and Norman will be doing this show in season 15.
There was lots of swearing with [Rita] Moreno, Kellett said.
