JANUARY 6, 2016

HISTORY® ORDERS MILITARY DRAMA SERIES SIX

A+E Studios and The Weinstein Company Teaming with

Academy Award® Nominee William Broyles to Produce New Drama Series

Pasadena, CA – January 6, 2016 – HISTORY® has ordered eight episodes of the military action drama SIX from A+E Studios and The Weinstein Company, it was announced today by Paul Buccieri, President of A&E and HISTORY. Inspired by current events, the series will be producedby A+E Studios, Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Company in association with Academy Award® nominee William Broyles and David Broyles.

Written by William Broyles (Castaway, Apollo 13, Jarhead) and David Broyles, a military special operations veteran, SIX follows a brotherhood of modern American warriors, Navy SEAL Team Six, the best of the best, whose 2014 mission to eliminate a Taliban leader in Afghanistan goes awry when they uncover a U.S. citizen working with the terrorists. A drama inspired by real missions capturing what these SEALs do, their complex personal lives, and the life and death decisions they make, SIX will be executive produced by William Broyles, David Broyles, Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Alfredo Barrios, Jr. (Burn Notice) and George W. Perkins (Live from Baghdad). Bruce C. McKenna (Band of Brothers, The Pacific) will serve as Executive Consultant, and join Barrios, William and David Broyles, and Karen Campbell (Dexter) in writing the episodes. Retired U.S. Navy SEAL Mitchell Hall (Zero Dark Thirty,Lone Survivor) will serve as the series’ technical advisor.

“We are thrilled to partner with William and David Broyles, Harvey Weinstein and the entire team, including our own A+E Studios, to bring this epic tale to HISTORY,” said Buccieri. “The backdrop surrounding this elite team of American soldiers – from their lives at home to the astonishing bravery they display serving our country – provides an amazing canvas for stories that deserve to be told.”

“The idea originally came to me when I read about Boko Haram kidnapping school children in Africa. I thought about how would our world react and it brought on the idea of creating a series about the world of SEAL Team Six because the story felt as poignant and timely as ever. Each year will feature a different theater of war – the first starting in Africa. We then brought on Bill, whom I long admired, along with David to write the pilot. They took my idea and developed a brilliant script for the project and added authenticity to the world in a way that only firsthand experience could possibly bring,” said Harvey Weinstein. “SIX is a series that recognizes this country’s great heroes and soldiers, and there’s no doubt that it will make for some of the most important, provocative television seen in ages. While we had vast interest from other networks, our great relationship with Nancy Dubuc, Paul Buccieri and Barry Jossen made HISTORY the clear choice.”

“SIX represents the type of authenticity HISTORY values from our creative and writing teams,” added Jana Bennett, President & General Manager of HISTORY. “This series will reflect the network’s renewed focus on core programming which embraces our recent history as well as our deeper past.”

Other current series from A+E Studios include Lifetime’s critically-acclaimed drama UnREAL, which will return for a second season this year, and HISTORY’s upcoming Knightfall.

William Broyles and David Broyles are represented by Paradigm and Gretchen Rush and Barry Littman at Hanson, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman & Newman.

Outstanding; one of the best. Had 23 years in USAF active duty in Viet Nam and Desert Shield/Storm and worked with the Tier One people on many occasions. Your character actors play their parts very well, they must be coached by pros as they pull off their scenes well. It is hard to find anything technically wrong and the plots are believe-able but skip many of the tough logistics, C3I and transportation problems which are always involved. But my hat is off to you, I have yet to see anything I thought was leftist debasement of these dedicated warriors; which… Read more »

This is an excellent show, very raw and powerful and the acting is superb. I would hope that the powers-that-be let us continue to enjoy a 2nd season. This series is one of the best I’ve watched in a while.
