EXCLUSIVE: Felicia Prinz has left Verve where she had been for 13 years, most recently as Partner and Head of the Television Literary Department. She is going to Range where she will be a Partner and a manger in the film/TV division. Prinz is joining another recent hire, Nishika Kumble, who was named SVP of Scripted Television for Range Studios, the independent studio division of Range Media Partners, almost two months ago.

Prinz joined Verve in 2013, became Partner in 2020, and was named Head of Television Literary in 2022. She oversaw Verve’s scripted television business across writers, showrunners, directors, creators, and producer-directors and worked on growing the agency’s TV department. Additionally, Prinz was part of the broader Verve team representing multi-hyphenate television talent.

Clients joining Prinz at Range include Ransom Canyon creator and showrunner April Blair, Micah Schraft (The Morning Show), Katie Wech (Matlock), The Bold Type creator Sarah Watson, Olatunde Osunsanmi (Star Trek), Arika Mittman (Irrational), Drop Dead Diva creator Josh Berman, Gotham Knights co-developers Chad Fiveash & James Stoteraux, and Paul Scairrotta (Jane the Virgin).

“Felicia Prinz has been a valued colleague, partner, and friend over the past 13 years, and we are tremendously excited to see her embark on this next chapter of her career, transitioning to become a manager alongside our friends at Range,” Verve’s co-founding partners Adam Levine and Bryan Besser said in a stateent. “We look forward to continuing to work alongside her in this new capacity for many years to come.”

For Prinz, who was first rumored to join Range in December before the two parties had started conversations, this marks a return to management. Prior to joining Verve, she was a manager at Fineman Entertainment. She started her career at CAA, followed by ICM and another management company, 3 Arts Entertainment.

Prinz’s departure follows the exit last fall of another high-level verve lit agent, Managing Partner Liz Parker, who recently launched her own company.

Kumble most recently served as SVP of Film & Television at Malala Yousafzai’s Extracurricular Productions, overseeing the release of Bread & Roses and The Last Of the Women on Apple TV. Before that, she launched the scripted television department at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Productions, worked on scripted series at Entertainment One, including Showtime’s Yellowjackets and Freeform’s Cruel Summer, and was VP of Development & Production at Rashida Jones and Will McCormack’s Le Train Train Productions, serving as co-executive producer on AMC’s Kevin Can F*** Himself. Kumble began her executive career at Noah Hawley’s FX-based production company 26 Keys as Director of Development, working on Fargo and Legion. She started off at CAA working for Jacqueline Sacerio, then a TV lit agent. Sacerio joined Range Studios as President of Scripted Television in February.

“Felicia’s exceptional taste in television writers & directors, and her ability to help her clients navigate the increasingly complex television landscape, is bar none. As a seasoned executive, Nishika’s ability to identify brilliant material & work with the best artists to get premium shows off the ground will help accelerate our Scripted TV studio pipeline,” said Rich Cook, Founding Partner at Range, and Jacqueline Sacerio, President of Scripted TV, Range Studios, in a joint statement. “Together, Felicia & Nishika further solidify Range’s television footprint across representation and production.”

The two new additions follow Range’s recent hire of talent rep Brandon Liebman as a Partner & Manager in the Film/TV division.
