Disney+ Signs Exclusive Production Agreement with Emmy-Winning Supper Club

Disney’s new streaming service, Disney+, has signed an exclusive, two-year production partnership with Supper Club’s David Gelb (“Chef’s Table,” “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”), Brian McGinn (“Chef’s Table,” “Amanda Knox”) and Jason Sterman (“13th,” “Five Came Back”).

Supper Club will develop and create premium franchise-based and original-concept nonfiction programming for Disney+ as well as other platforms and networks within The Walt Disney Company.

Supper Club specializes in the development and production of original scripted and documentary content and is dedicated to elevated storytelling across all platforms and formats. In the last three years, the Supper Club founders have garnered nine Emmy® nominations and two wins, including for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special.

The company’s first original series for Disney+ will be the culture-focused “Marvel’s 616” (working title), created in collaboration with Marvel New Media, the digital, short-form and nonfiction content studio within Marvel Entertainment, and the wildlife conservation-themed “Earthkeepers” (working title).

“Marvel’s 616” (working title) is an anthological documentary series exploring the intersection between Marvel’s rich legacy of stories, characters and creators and the world outside your window. Told through the lens of a diverse group of filmmakers, each documentary will dive into the rich historical, cultural and societal context that has become inseparable from stories of the Marvel Universe. The series is produced by Marvel New Media in partnership with Supper Club.

From the award-winning creators of “Chef’s Table” and the producers of “One Lucky Elephant,” “Earthkeepers” (working title) is a cinematic documentary series that centers on the adventurous lives of the people changing the way we see the animal kingdom. The episodes focus on conservationists and the animals they’ve devoted their career to studying, diving deep into the personal trials and professional breakthroughs of protecting the planet’s most endangered species.

Disney+ will launch on November 12, 2019. Learn more about the streaming service here.
