These strategic moves are described as a natural evolution for Lord Miller, which has continued to expand in both film and television over the past several years — recently seeing Universal release their Elizabeth Banks-directed comedy Cocaine Bear, with four other projects coming up for release this year.
Regarded as having a strong eye for standout original material, Sood has been with Lord Miller as President of Film since 2019, and will now expand his oversight to include all aspects of the company including television, adding to his existing responsibilities for overseeing their film efforts.
Shear comes to Lord Miller from Peacock, where he served as EVP of Comedy Development, and will now be responsible for running the day-to-day operations of the company’s television department.

Added the Lord Miller principals: “It is our goal at Lord Miller to build a company full of original thinkers who see creative opportunities in unique places and are in it for the long haul and the right reasons. Not only is this the very definition of Aditya, but when we met Dan, we immediately knew he
