. The departure is amicable, with Barnett saying in a statement that she wants to "follow my curiosity" to another field. AMC Networks COO Ed Carroll will assume oversight of AMC, BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV and the studio on an interim basis following Barnett's departure.
"This is a year that has confronted us with radical change on multiple fronts,” said Barnett. “After a lot of consideration — and with a slightly breaking heart — I have decided that it is the right time for me to follow my curiosity and leave things in the very capable hands of the outstanding team at AMC Networks. Shaping stories and connecting them to audiences alongside brilliant people inside and outside of this company has been a unique joy and privilege for the past 11 years.
Barnett's departure comes at a time when cable groups like AMC Networks are dealing with cord-cutting and the continued expansion of the streaming landscape.
