Investigation Discovery’s The Curious Case of Natalia Grace and Lifetime’s The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard both opened with stellar ratings, highlighting the continued success of true-crime on television.
In fact, it’s the “Barbenheimer of true-crime,” according to Warner Bros Discovery exec Jason Sarlanis.
Sarlanis, President, TBS, TNT, truTV, ID & Hln for Linear & Streaming at Wbd, said, “What [Lifetime] was able to do with Gypsy Rose and we had with Natalia Grace was like our own little Barbenheimer of true-crime happening. That only really happens if you’re willing to find the good things and find the optimism in every single meeting.”
Sarlanis was speaking Monday at Realscreen in New Orleans on a panel alongside Lifetime’s SVP Original Programming Brie Miranda Bryant; Scout Production co-founder David Collins; WME partner and agent Ryan McNeily; and Susie Jones, head of factual at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Kyas Sherriff, Joseph Maxwell and Susie Jones.
Given its charter is focused on multiculturalism and diversity, Sbs’s commissioning editors naturally receive many documentary and factual pitches focused on social issues like immigration, identity and the refugee crisis. But to stand out, producers are urged to be creative in the form in which they look to tell those stories.
At last week’s Australian International Documentary Conference (Adic), Sbs head of documentaries Joseph Maxwell told delegates to not just pitch a theme, but pitch an approach.
As the smaller of the public broadcasters, Maxwell says Sbs commissions need to “punch through”, and spark national conversations. Contemporary documentary is at the heart of the slate, and the broadcaster is seeking a variety of tones and forms, such as ob doc, docudrama and presenter-led shows.
“The schedule every night on Sbs has documentaries, and they do a fantastic job of keeping the audience.
