March 26, 2013

3net Studios, the global production company from Sony, Discovery and IMAX – has begun principal photography on two native 3D television series for global distribution and is finalising post-production on a returning series for the 3net US linear service.  In addition, the company has put three new native 4K television series into development to help keep pace with the growing worldwide demand for Ultra HD content.

“The global growth of 3D TV into the home increased by 72 per cent in 2012, and we’re starting to see the impact of those 41 million new sets sold last year as consumers around the world look to their entertainment providers for compelling, original 3D content,” said Tom Cosgrove, President and CEO, 3net.  “And with a 2013 forecast of continued dramatic 3D TV penetration – and now a faster than anticipated rollout of 4K – 3net Studios is bolstering our current roster of original 3D and 4K production to keep pace with the growing demand from the global marketplace.”
