Amazon Studios is shaking up the leadership of its TV programming operations under Head of Television Vernon Sanders. Marc Resteghini is stepping down as US/global head of development, sources say. He is negotiating a producing deal with Amazon Studios. Nick Pepper, head of studio creative content, and Laura Lancaster, head of series, are expected to divvy up Resteghini’s responsibilities and co-run development and production of TV content, reporting to Sanders. MGM TV’s operations remain separate and do not factor into the current executive changes.
Legendary is putting its entire television business under Chris Albrecht, who was named Head of Legendary TV. As part of the move, the studio is combining its domestic and international TV businesses under one roof. As part of the move, current Legendary TV President Nick Pepper will move to an executive producer role on the studio’s projects.
