Original Title: Amazon MGM Studios TV Chief Peter Friedlander Sets Major Reorganization: The studio will switch to genre-based teams: Drama and comedy, worldbuilding (i.e., fantasy, sci-fi and other “genre” series), animation and unscripted


A few months into his time as head of global television for Amazon MGM Studios, Peter Friedlander is undertaking a significant reorganization of the TV team.

Under former head Vernon Sanders, Amazon MGM’s TV division had been structured around wholly owned series and co-productions. Starting “immediately,” Friedlander wrote in a memo to staff Monday, the studio will switch to genre-based teams for both development and current programming: drama and comedy, worldbuilding (i.e., fantasy, sci-fi and other “genre” series), animation and unscripted.

Upcoming series mentioned in the memo:

  • Blade Runner 2099
  • God of War
  • Tomb Raider
  • Spider-Noir
  • Scarpetta
  • Elle
  • Young Sherlock
  • Carrie
