Super Channel

Super Channel has acquired MGM Television and Skydance Television’s CIA thriller Condor. Produced in association with Paramount Television, the series is based on James Grady’s novel Six Days of the Condor and the screenplay “Three Days of the Condor” from Lorenzo Semple Jr. and David Rayfiel. Season one of Toronto-shot Condor follows a young CIA analyst (played by Max Irons), who discovers a plan that threatens the lives of millions. Super Channel Fuse will air season one of the show on April 2 at 9 p.m. Following Condor‘s linear broadcast, each episode will be available on Super Channel On Demand. The teleplay for Condor was created by Jason Smilovic, who serves as showrunner, and Todd Katzberg. Exec producers on the series include Smilovic, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross. Katzberg serves as a co-exec producer on the show. Condor is distributed internationally by MGM.
