Netflix's Avatar The Last Airbender live-action Fire Lord Ozai | Daniel Dae Kim is Fire Lord Ozai
EXCLUSIVE: 20th Television has inked a deal with Daniel Dae Kim to develop and executive produce comedy, drama and miniseries through his production company 3AD for linear networks and streamers, with a focus on platforms within Disney Entertainment Television such as ABC, Hulu and Disney+.
Kim's acting and producing breakthroughs have all been tied to Disney. His first leading role on TV was in ABC's 2004 drama Lost, produced by then-ABC Studios, which recently merged with 20th Television. And 3AD's first series was ABC's long-running medical procedural The Good Doctor. John Cheng heads development for 3AD.
“With the recent 20th anniversary of the premiere of Lost, it seems only fitting to announce a return home to the place that changed my career,” said Kim. “All of us at 3AD are thrilled to begin this new chapter with Eric, Karey, Carolyn and the entire team at 20th Television. We look forward to creating exciting new content together and building on an already special relationship.”
