The executive will be responsible for implementing the growth and performance optimization of the company's AVOD and FAST channels through a series of digital-based strategies.
The deal gives FilmRise exclusive English and Spanish-language distribution rights to titles like “The Baby-Sitters Club,” “Animorphs,” “Stellaluna,” and “I Spy” on AVOD and FAST platforms.
The deal will serve as the US-based AVOD streaming service's first major catalog replenishment. The titles slated to be included in the catalog include "The Astronaut’s Wife," "Collateral Damage" and "The Long Kiss Goodnight," among others.
The company partnered with Wilderness Productions for the AVOD and SVOD distribution rights of the series in North America, UK, Ireland, and Australia.
