Microsoft has promised that the Xbox One will be an entertainment platform as much as it is a game console and that reality is one step closer now that the Microsoft team working on it includes Ari Mark, who was previously involved with cable network AMC.

The producer was involved in the creation of the hit drama The Walking Dead, which also exists in video game form from Telltale Games, and the reality series Comic Book Men, which focuses on a shop run by Kevin Smith.

It’s not clear which role Ari Mark will play when it comes to Xbox One programming, according to Gamasutra.

Microsoft has teased a Halo-themed live action series for the new console since it was announced and a recent rumor suggests that Neill Blomkamp, who directed both Elysium and District 9, is set to create the first episode, which will feature Master Chief.
