Exclusive: There’s some more change at Fremantle, this time in the documentary space.
Mandy Chang is stepping back from her role as Global Head of Documentaries, two and a half years after joining the Rtl-owned company.
However, she is staying in the Fremantle family as she will continue to run Undeniable, the documentary label that it launched earlier this year.
In response, Mark Reynolds, who previously worked at BBC Studios, will take over as Interim Global Head of Documentaries, starting in January.
Elaine Morris, who is head of production, and Bernie Kay will report to Reynolds when he starts on January 8. Reynolds himself will report to Andrea Scrosati, Fremantle’s Group COO and CEO of Continental Europe.
“Mark will continue to support the growth of our documentaries business and drive collaboration across our production companies and labels around the world,” Scrosati wrote in an internal email seen by Deadline.
