Lionsgate has signed a new long-term agreement with executive vice president Chris Selak, adding worldwide television to her purview, the company announced Thursday.
Selak will also spearhead the Lionsgate Television Group’s close creative collaboration with the newly-launched Lionsgate UK television business led by Lionsgate UK CEO Zygi Kamasa and UK Television creative director Steve November as part of the Company’s strategy of increasing its US/UK co-productions.
In addition, Selak’s team will be responsible for supplying new premium scripted projects to Starz, acquired in December 2016, with three major properties already in the development pipeline.
“Chris has been an integral part of our success over the past six years, and she will be one of the key executives moving our business forward in the years to come,” said Lionsgate Television group chairman Kevin Beggs.
