Exclusive: Mike Tollin, executive producer of Emmy-winning The Last Dance, today announced the launch of Mtp, a re-branding and restructuring of his Mike Tollin Productions, with a focus on expanded content.

The announcement follows the premiere last month of his six-episode docuseries Justice, USA on Max.
