Starz’ Susan Lewis Joins ABC Signature As Head Of Drama Development
Lewis, who was SVP, Original Programming at the premium pay-TV network, joins on August 31 and will head the label’s drama team, reporting to Executive Vice President Tracy Underwood.
She replaces Patrick Maguire, who was promoted to SVP of drama development under former ABC Studios President Patrick Moran in September 2018. Maguire, who has been at Disney, ABC and ABC Studios in various roles since 2002, is understood to be considering other opportunities. The move comes ten days after Disney Television Studios launched a major rebrand of its three TV studios. ABC Signature, which now encapsulates ABC Studios, is led by president Jonnie Davis, while Fox 21 Television Studios, led by president Bert Salke, will be renamed Touchstone Television, and 20th Century Fox Television, led by president Carolyn Cassidy, becomes 20th Television.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Susan to ABC Signature,” added Underwood. “I have long admired her impeccable taste and collaborative spirit. Her thoughtful shepherding of distinctive series like in concert with her unflappable leadership style made her an undeniable choice for us to spearhead drama and be a vital decision maker for our studio.”
