FOX Entertainment Studios Expands Scripted Team

FOX Entertainment Studios (FES) has appointed two executives to new senior roles: JJ Klein as senior VP of current for scripted entertainment and Brie Neimand as senior VP of scripted development.

“With executives like JJ and Brie in these newly created roles, our scripted entertainment leadership team is locked and set to deliver creative that captivates and connects audiences globally,” said Hannah Pillemer, executive VP and head of scripted entertainment for FES. “From the FOX Television Network to third-party partners worldwide, and from broadcast to streaming to digital storytelling, the team is shaping FOX into a next-gen studio, where bold stories move audiences and meet them where they are.”

Previously, Klein was senior VP of current series at FX Networks, where over her 12-year tenure, she was responsible for hit FX comedy, drama and documentary series, including The Bear, Better Things and Snowfall.

Neimand comes from CBS Studios, where she was senior VP of current programming. In her role at CBS, she oversaw a diverse slate, including Criminal Minds: Evolution, Digman, Glamorous and Rabbit Hole.

Klein and Neimand will both report directly to Pillemer.
