US TV network NBC is planning to air original webisodes of Chuck, The Office, and Heroes. Variety reported that once these are rolled out, more shows will follow suit starting with 30 Rock.
NBC Digital Entertainment’s Vivi Zigler stated, “We’re incredibly lucky to have such collaborative writers, producers and actors to work with.” NBC have tried the web format before and The Office ran a successful series of webisodes until the writers strike put an end to the concept.
NBC’s Ben Silverman stated, “The strike did resolve our issues with our chief creative partners. Now we have terms of business with them, we can do webisodes, integration. We’re able to talk to them without the elephant in the room. We can create with them openly and freely.”
The webisodes are currently being produced for web broadcasting this July.
