Legendary is putting its entire television business under Chris Albrecht, who was named Head of Legendary TV. As part of the move, the studio is combining its domestic and international TV businesses under one roof.

As part of the move, current Legendary TV president Nick Pepper will transition to an executive producer role on the studio’s projects. The studio says the move should better position Legendary to capitalize on the global expansion of the US streamers and the heightened need for platform defining content.

Albrecht, who left as Starz’s CEO in 2019, teamed with Legendary TV at the end of that year on an international production venture.
