Exclusive: Topic Studios has brought in veteran scripted development executive Quan Phung as Svp Original Series.
Phung is tasked with building a scripted content team in Los Angeles following Topic’s recent decision to relocate the studio’s scripted TV division from New York to L.A., resulting in a handful of layoffs, including Svp Scripted Programming Lisa Leingang.
Based out of the studio’s L.A. office, Phung will oversee the sourcing, developing and packaging of premium ongoing and event series to the broadcast, cable and streaming marketplace.

Entering the scripted series arena, where the studio doesn’t have a presence yet, is considered a priority.

In the second installment of our ongoing video series, senior editor Rob Licuria and “Outlander” fan Paula Licuria dish the highs and lows of each episode. Our weekly analysis covers Season 4, based on “Drums of Autumn,” Diana Gabaldon’s fourth novel in the series of books (watch above).
In “Do No Harm,” the second episode of season four of the Starz hit drama “Outlander,” slated for November 11, Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) visit his Aunt Jocasta (Maria Doyle Kennedy) at her plantation River Run. Claire immediately feels the pain of being a woman out of time surrounded by the oppression of slavery. Meanwhile, Jamie’s re-connection with his long lost aunt results in a public announcement that blindsides him and horrifies Claire. When tragedy strikes at the plantation, Jamie and Claire find themselves caught between what’s right and the law of the land, ultimately facing an impossible decision.
