\n\tKang is moving to indie film and TV studio Fifth Season from Apple TV. She launched Blue Marble Pictures in 2020 with a five-year overall deal at Apple where the company produced Pachinko\u00a0and the upcoming series Disavowed starring James Marsden.<\/p>\n

\n\tPrior to that, Kang was an agent and partner at WME, as was Fifth Season CEO Graham Taylor before Fifth Season was launched as Endeavor Content in 2017. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs a lit agent, Kang was key in putting together several of Endeavor Content\u2019s first batch of shows, The Night Manager, which put the company on the map, The Little Drummer Girl, and Tokyo Vice. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBlue Marble is one of the most versatile production companies in the business \u2013 the breadth and caliber of artists they have brought together speaks for itself,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cThey have a reputation for nurturing artists and projects and for taking a collaborative approach to ensuring project success. At Fifth Season, we\u2019ve always believed that the best stories come from the best creative collaborations, and Blue Marble embodies that through their slate of adaptations and original ideas. We couldn\u2019t be more excited to build together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFifth Season\u2019s upcoming TV series include East of Eden, starring Florence Pugh, for Netflix; The Good Daughter, starring Meghann Fahy and Rose Byrne, for Peacock; and Southern Bastards, starring Kevin Bacon, for Hulu. The studio is coming off the success of limited series His & Hers, which landed on Netflix\u2019s Top 10 list of most popular series (English).In addition to Blue Marble Pictures, Kang is also the principal of Blue Marble Management, which represents Oscar-winning filmmakers Alfonso Cuaron, Chris Terrio and Simon Beaufoy, Golden Globe-nominated screenwriter and best-selling author Gillian Flynn, Emmy-winner Lena Waithe, NAACP and Emmy nominee Prentice Penny, and WGA Series Nominee Little Marvin, amongst notable others.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur creative philosophy is simple: the most specific stories are often the most universal, Kang said. \u201cWe\u2019ve long admired Fifth Season for sharing in the belief that premium, globally minded storytelling belongs everywhere. Collectively, we share a track record of supporting artists and protecting their creative vision in television.\u201d
