Legendary Entertainment has a new President of Television.
The studio has hired Sony Pictures Television Studios Co‐President Jason Clodfelter in the role.
Clodfelter, who leaves Sony after 17 years, will develop new scripted series and limited series at Legendary, which is behind series such as Amazon’s Carnival Row and Apple’s Drops of God. He essentially replaces Chris Albrecht, who left the company last year.
Clodfelter will work closely with Vice Chairman of Worldwide Production Mary Parent, Legendary Pictures. Carmi Zlotnik remains at the company, overseeing the production side.
Clodfelter was named Co-President of Sony Pictures Television Studios in 2017, where he oversaw U.S. drama and comedy development, U.S. scripted and current programming, global programming and development, talent and casting, TriStar Television, marketing, and research.
During his tenure, the company produced series such as The Night Agent, The Boys franchise, Cobra Kai, Platonic, Twisted Metal, A League of Their Own, Wheel of Time, Outlander, The Afterparty, Black Monday, Atypical, Them, The Blacklist, For All Mankind, The Good Doctor, SWAT and Accused. He was previously Co-Head of Drama Development at the studio.
It emerged that he renewed his contract last year before the departure of Sony Pictures Television Studios President Jeff Frost. The company hired Katherine Pope to replace Frost in July 2022.
Clodfelter’s last day is August 11.
In an internal memo (see below), Pope said that his responsibilities will be shared between Pope and other members of the leadership team.
