The Guild Season 2 is currently under way with an exclusive release deal with Microsoft that has new episodes available only on XBox 360 Live, MSN and the Zune Marketplace for the first four weeks of each episode.
The Zune division says they will develop several original pilots over the next 12 months ranging from live-action and animated comedy to urban and music programming.
“Video is an important part of the Zune experience, and by working with cutting-edge partners like MEAN we are expanding our offering to give our customers original programming they can’t get anywhere else,” said Paul Davidson, lead video and original content producer for Zune. “We will also look to expand distribution across other Microsoft platforms to make the series available to an even larger audience.”
Those other platforms will most likely include Xbox and MSN, should those divisions find Cinemash a good fit. The new series is slated to debut sometime this spring and will be available for free in the Zune Marketplace. One downside for Mac users, as of today the Zune Marketplace is only available to Windows users. Looks like it may be time to pick up Parallels for Mac.
[Note: Microsoft Zune is a sponsor of the Streamy Awards, web television’s premier awards show. The live event will happen this March in Hollywood.]
