\nJenn Levy has boarded Amazon MGM Studios as the studio\u2019s new head of unscripted and documentary TV.
In the newly created role, Levy, who previously served as president at production company 32 Flavors, which produces \u201cThe Real Housewives\u201d and \u201cVanderpump Rules,\u201d will oversee the entirety of the studio\u2019s efforts in the unscripted space, with Amazon MGM Unscripted, MGM Alternative, Big Fish Entertainment and Evolution Media teams reporting to her.
She will report to head of global TV Peter Friedlander, who shared news of her arrival in a Tuesday memo to staff. Levy will be based at the Culver City office and will start her post on Jan. 20.
\u201cHaving a single threaded leader for this vital piece of our business is crucial \u2013 and bringing on someone of Jenn\u2019s caliber to fill the job makes our future that much brighter,\u201d Friedlander wrote. \u201cJenn has played a leadership role in shows that have resonated far beyond the unscripted genre and crossed into global phenomenon territory \u2013 \u2018Love is Blind,\u2019 \u2018The Real Housewives,\u2019 \u2018Vanderpump Rules,\u2019 \u2018Queer Eye,\u2019 \u2018Top Chef,\u2019 and \u2018Below Deck,\u2019 just to name a few.\u201d
Prior to serving as president of 32 Flavors, which is notably led by Alex Baskin, formerly of Amazon\u2019s Evolution Media, Levy served as an SVP at Bravo for nine before moving on to Netflix, where she helped led the streamer\u2019s unscripted initiative. Levy joined Netflix in 2017 as director of unscripted originals, helping launch megahits like \u201cLove Is Blind,\u201d \u201cQueer Eye\u201d and \u201cThe Ultimatum.\u201d She served as VP of unscripted at Netflix by the time she left in 2024.
Levy\u2019s appointment is one of the first major strategy moves from Friedlander, who joined in late September and succeeded Vernon Sanders.<\/p>\n
