Three weeks after the exit of David Nevins left a hole in the oversight of Paramount+ scripted originals, the void is yet to be filled. However, chatter about a restructuring of the operations along the lines laid out in Deadline’s piece on the day of Nevins’ departure announcement has been gaining momentum.
Also growing is speculation how CBS Studios and Paramount TV Studios will align now that both are under the purview of George Cheeks, President & CEO, CBS and CCO, News & Sports, Paramount+. Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish stressed on the day of Nevins’ exit announcement that Paramount TV Studios “will continue to operate as a studio alongside CBS Studios,” but finding synergies is inevitable in cases like this one.
We should expect a clearer picture on both Paramount+ and CBS Studios/Paramount TV Studios in next couple of weeks, and it will likely involve layoffs.
As we reported earlier this month, the three studios supplying Paramount+ with scripted series — CBS Studios, Paramount TV Studios and MTV Entertainment Studios, where Taylor Sheridan is based — are expected to each take charge of their development for the streamer and oversee their Paramount+ shows in collaboration with Tom Ryan, President and CEO of Paramount Streaming, and Tanya Giles, the company’s Chief Programming Officer of Streaming, who is shepherding the rollout of content.
There has been a lot of speculation about the fate of the Paramount+ development team led by Paramount TV Studios President Nicole Clemens in her role as President, Paramount+ Original Scripted Series. The consensus is that that team will be dissolved. The question is what happens to the executives, and the latest rumor is that they may be absorbed into the ranks of PTVS.
