Stranger Things writer and producer Justin Doble has closed an overall deal with Amazon Studios. Doble will develop genre television projects exclusively for Prime Video.
“We have long admired Justin’s ability to create stories and characters that stoke fans’ passion,” said Sharon Tal Yguado, head of event series, Amazon Studios. “He has contributed to some of the best genre out there, and we are excited to collaborate with him as we build a slate of high-profile shows.”
In addition to his writing on both seasons of the multi-Emmy Award-winning Stranger Things, Doble has also written for Jason Katims’s The Path, and Millar and Gough’s Into the Badlands. He began his career as a writer on Fringe after taking part in the Warner Bros. Television Writer’s Program. He is a recipient of two WGA nominations for his work on Stranger Things.
Doble is represented by Allan Haldeman and Ben Jacobson at UTA and A.B. Fischer at the Shuman Company.
American Film Market will return to Los Angeles
The American Film Market is coming back to Los Angeles for its 46th edition (November 11-16, 2025). Last year’s AFM® detoured to Las Vegas but now the event will return to L.A., shifting from its former Santa Monica roost to a new venue--the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City, ideally situated just minutes from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Westwood, and next door to the AMC Century City 15 for screenings.
In the aftermath of the recent devastating fires in the L.A. area, the decision to again hold AFM in Southern California takes on an added significance. The business generated by the event can contribute to the economy of a city (where AFM started) that is a vital hub of the industry.
Over the decades, AFM has evolved from solely a transactional space into an essential event where industry leaders come together to launch the latest films and projects, assess the marketplace, share insights, and stay abreast of the rapid changes shaping the business.
Details about exhibition opportunities, registration, and the event’s agenda will be available shortly.
