Hincks & Fincham Hire for Drama Post at Expectation

Expectation, which is led by co-CEOs Tim Hincks and Peter Fincham, has appointed Kirstie Macdonald as creative director of drama.

Macdonald joins Expectation from World Productions, where she script edited the first season of the hit series Line of Duty. She has worked on a number of shows as script executive, including Outlaws and The Fear, as well as a new Sky Atlantic show, Save Me. Macdonald joins Expectation in September.

Hincks said: “Peter and I are absolutely delighted that Kirstie is joining Expectation. Kirstie is a first-class producer, she has fantastic relationships with writers—both new and established—but above all, she is a true creative who loves television and storytelling. She will be a huge success at Expectation and we can’t wait to start working with her.”

Fincham added: “It’s great to have Kirstie on board. There’s never been a more exciting time for drama and Kirstie’s track record speaks for itself.”
