Canal+ Group taps Audrey Brugère as EVP for literary adaptations

Canal+ Group has appointed Audrey Brugère as its new director of programming for foreign and youth series as Executive VP for literary adaptations.“Increasing the adaptation of successful literary works into films, series, or documentaries is one of StudioCanal’s ambitions for the coming years, as proved by the creation of this position," Anna Marsh, CEO at StudioCanal, said. "Audrey’s experience within the Canal+ Group, as well as her knowledge of our activities, will be a valuable asset in achieving this.”

Brugère, who has been with Vivendi-owned Canal+ Group since 2009, will take on her new role on 1 September and report to Marsh. Brugère will work with the group’s subsidiaries, which include the production and distribution arm StudioCanal, pay TV service Canal+, and publisher Editis, on potential collaborations.

Brugère began her career as a consultant at strategy consulting firm Bain & Company before joining Canal+ Group as head of strategic marketing. It comes after Brugère was appointed to her current role in 2020, before which she had served as head of Canal+ Group’s youth department since 2017.
