Peter Friedlander, a well-respected former Netflix executive is joining the studio, Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video head Mike Hopkins said Thursday in a memo to staff. Friedlander is set to begin his new job on Oct. 6 and will take over the role from Vernon Sanders, who announced his departure eight days ago.
Friedlander’s portfolio at Amazon MGM will include that studio as well as MGM Television (Fargo, Wednesday) and unscripted banner MGM Alternative.
Friedlander left Netflix less than a month ago after 14 years, the last four of those as head of scripted series for the United States and Canada. He had been one of the longest-serving creative executives at that company and had a hand in bringing a number of its biggest series to streaming, including Orange Is the New Black, Stranger Things, Wednesday and Black Mirror.
