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
