All My Children and One Life to Live will have another life online, ABC announced today. The network has licensed the canceled sudsers to Prospect Park, a media and production company founded in 2009 by Jeffrey Kwatinetz and former Disney Studios head Rich Frank. (The company’s best known for producing Royal Pains for USA and Wilfred for FX.)
The exclusive, multi-year deal will allow the soaps to continue beyond their finale dates. All My Children ends it run on ABC on Sept. 23 while One Life to Live is set to sunset in January.
Prospect Park will produce and deliver the soaps via online formats and “additional emerging platforms” that include internet enabled television sets. Under the terms of the arrangement, ABC promises that the programs will “continue to be delivered with the same quality and in the same format and length.”
