Original Amazon series like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel will be sold off-platform to third parties for the first time, the company announced Monday as it launched the new Amazon MGM Studios Distribution. A revamp of MGM’s pre-existing distribution team, the division will now handle Amazon Studios/Prime Video originals in addition to current and library titles. Chris Ottinger, who led the MGM distribution team for more than a decade, will oversee the new division.
Roma Khanna, Chris Ottinger, Steve Stark and John Bryan will remain with the TV division through 2016.
