Fremantle has appointed Sharon Levy as the new CEO of Fremantle Americas & Australia, effective January 2027. Levy, formerly the CEO of Endemol Shine North America, will join the company's Global Leadership Team to oversee production operations, creative development, and intellectual property across the U.S., Mexico, and Australia.
This leadership change signals Fremantle's intent to centralize its most lucrative production hubs under a single executive with deep unscripted and scripted experience. By recruiting a top executive from rival Banijay, Fremantle is positioning itself to better compete for high-value intellectual property and talent partnerships in the fragmented North American and Australian markets. The move suggests a shift toward more aggressive regional growth as the company integrates its production labels across three continents. Watch for how Levy’s background in developing international co-productions like Like Water for Chocolate influences Fremantle’s scripted strategy in the U.S. and Mexico throughout 2027.
