Just weeks after Oliver Jones left Apple TV for Amazon, another executive focused on international content is leaving the company. Here are the details.
A few weeks ago, THR reported that Oliver Jones, an Apple TV executive who worked on shows including Masters of the Air, Disclaimer, and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters over the past six years, was leaving for Amazon MGM Studios, where he’d lead U.K. scripted content.
Now, Deadline reports that Morgan Wandell, Apple TV’s Head of International Development, is also departing. Rather than going to a competitor, Wandell is launching his own production company, called Kismet.
From Deadline:
Based in Los Angeles, Kismet will be developing and producing premium scripted series aimed at the global marketplace by finding and nurturing projects and voices that can travel through high-end culturally rooted storytelling.
Interestingly, Wandell joined Apple in 2017, after leading the development of original content for international audiences at Amazon Studios, and ABC Studios before that.
Since then, he worked on several Apple TV series, including Tehran, Acapulco, Masters of the Air, Disclaimer, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and The New Look.
Deadline says that with Wandell’s departure, Apple TV’s Head of Programming and Domestic Development, Matt Cherniss, will take over the shows previously under Wandell. Cherniss already oversaw series including Ted Lasso, Severance, The Studio, and Pluribus.
Meanwhile, Apple TV’s Creative Director for Europe, Jay Hunt, will expand her role to oversee international and local-language originals. Hunt is currently in charge of shows including Slow Horses and Hijack.
Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like Severance, The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking and Silo.
