AMC Networks has promoted and expanded the responsibilities of seven key members of its scripted programming group.
This group includes Ben Haigh, Josh Sizer, Jack Glascott, Alexis Greer, Noel Manzano, Corey Schmalzle and Samantha Perelman.
All were key in expanding the company’s original programming, especially when it comes to the Anne Rice immortal universe and “The Walking Dead” expanded universe. They were also instrumental on upcoming series such as “Monsieur Spade,” “Parish” and “Orphan Black: Echoes.”
Ben Haigh and Josh Sizer have been promoted to senior vice president of programming. Together, they will oversee domestic scripted programming and will report to Ben Davis, the current executive vice president of programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios. Davis first joined the company nearly 20 years ago.
Haigh and Sizer were key in expanding the network’s scripted programming offerings, specifically across the Anne Rice immortal universe and “The Walking Dead” expanded universe, and were involved in current AMC hits such as “Dark Winds” and “Silo.” They were also key to “Parish,” the Giancarlo Esposito New Orleans-set drama set to premiere in 2024, among other series.
Both joined the company in 2020. Previously, Haigh held positions at UCLA, Shore Z Productions and Columbia. As for Sizer, he previously worked at DreamCrew, HBO and William Morris Endeavor.
Reporting to Haigh and Sizer are Jack Glascott and Alexis Greer, who are also part of the promotions. Glascott has been promoted to vice president of domestic scripted programming, and Greer has been upped to director of domestic scripted programming. Amanda Lloyd, who recently joined AMC from HBO Max as manager of scripted programming, will also report to Haigh and Sizer.
