Hulu CEO Randy Freer will leave the streaming service amid a reorganization under Disney’s direct-to-consumer chief Kevin Mayer.
Freer, who has been CEO since 2017, will remain in his role for the next several weeks to help with the integration. Disney is further aligning Hulu into its operations. As a result, Hulu’s top executives will report directly to Disney’s DTCI division leaders. Craig Erwich, Hulu’s senior vice president of scripted originals, will still report to Dana Walden, chairman of Disney Television Studios and ABC Entertainment.
Disney acquired majority control of the streaming company as part of its $71.3 billion takeover of 21st Century Fox’s film and TV assets.
