With "Coda", the service is the first one to win the biggest award in the film industry. The English-language remake of the 2014 French film La Famille Bélier, CODA stars Emilia Jones.
The initiative will be led by veteran sales and production executive, Leslie Jones, who has spent most of her corporate career maintaining executive positions at NBCUniversal, including International Sales and Format Production.
The previous season of the title, executively produced by Max Welch, Duane Jones and Kate Maddigan at Renowned Films, saw massive success on The Cottage Life and The Weather Channel.
Serving as the fifth addition to the content team, Jones will contribute to the development of the streamer's scripted and unscripted content. Her tenure with the company will begin in September.
