Jonnie Davis is leaving ABC Signature. Davis has been President of the Disney-owned studio since 2019. He said it has been a “privilege” to work on shows such as ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, FX’s Fleishman Is In Trouble and Hulu’s This Fool. The move, however, is not a precursor to merging ABC Signature and 20th Television and, despite a multitude of rumors, they will continue to operate as two separate division. The company is currently searching for a replacement for Davis.
Disney Television Studios has named Jonnie Davis president of ABC Studios, amid a restructuring in the wake of the Disney-Fox merger that has resulted in the displacement of current head Patrick Moran and ABC Studios EVP Howard Davine.
In a restructuring of its team, Davis assumes a newly created role with oversight of four of the studio’s creative departments, while Thorn adds comedy development to his purview.
