The Atlantic has expanded into film and television, adapting deeply reported stories for the screen. Recent credits include the series Shadowland and the Emmy-winning Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power, with more than a dozen scripted and unscripted projects in development with major studios."
"In its first year, Prologue Entertainment has quickly earned a reputation for premium, compelling dramas inspired by real-life characters and events--including the Netflix series Zero Day, starring Robert De Niro, and A House of Dynamite, the film directed by Kathryn Bigelow. " The Atlantic uncovers the kinds of stories Prologue was created to tell," Oppenheim said. "Both of our teams are fascinated not only with what's happening in the world but also what could come next. We look forward to working with their journalists to develop more timely and relevant entertainment.""
