Canada‘s eOne division is rejigging following the Lionsgate buy, with Orphan Black EP Kerry Appleyard set to replace Tecca Crosby at the creative helm.
From April, Appleyard will take on the SVP Scripted and Unscripted role that Crosby has held for the past 12 years and will direct both genre teams creatively. She joins from Boat Rocker Studios where she was an EP on clone thriller Orphan Black (Space, BBC America), spin-off series Orphan Black: Echoes (AMC) and World War Two spy drama X Company, amongst others.
Crosby will “embark on a new chapter,” eOne said, after shepherding the likes of Private Eyes, Mary Kills People, Moonshine, Bitten and The Spencer Sisters.
eOne Canada has further reorganized by promoting Darren Giblin to SVP Current and Co-Productions and Andrew Kelly to VP Scripted Development, with Scott Boyd and Christine Diakos serving as VP’s Unscripted Development. Rounding out the team, Isabel Gomez-Moriana will continue as Director, Scripted Development and Jessica Liadsky will continue as Development Manager.
“Tecca has been a great creative partner, a wonderful mentor to her team and an accomplished executive with a long track record of original, daring and successful scripted series,” said Canada TV President Jocelyn Hamilton. “She has earned the respect and admiration of all of her colleagues, and she will be deeply missed by her eOne Canada family.”
Hamilton added: “We’re very fortunate to welcome an executive of Kerry’s stature to eOne. She brings great creative instincts and strong talent relationships to our scripted and unscripted business as part of a reorganization that will enhance our overall creative and business strategy.”
