Robinson was most recently executive vp physical production and head of AI studio for A+E Global Media. He’ll report to Lopez at Fremantle and in addition to heading physical production, Robinson will lead strategic planning, execution and delivery of Fremantle’s programs to TV and streaming outlets.
“Fremantle has an extraordinary creative legacy and a robust slate across both unscripted and scripted programming,” said Robinson. “I look forward to partnering with the team to align production and creative pipelines in ways that support our studios and continue delivering premium content for audiences across all viewing platforms.”
Knight comes to Fremantle from AGC Studios, where she was senior vp development. She’ll report to Jimmy Fox, Fremantle’s executive vp unscripted development and sales, and will take charge of finding and developing unscripted formats that can be distributed across the globe.
“Fremantle is synonymous with world-class unscripted television, and the opportunity to work alongside Jimmy is incredible,” said Knight. “His creative instincts and appetite for scale align perfectly with how I approach development, and I’m so excited to help build the next generation of standout global formats with the fantastic team here.”
