RED Production Company Taps Head of Development

RED Production Company has hired Chloe Dunbar as its new head of development.

Dunbar will be responsible for developing and implementing RED’s development strategy, originating and pitching new project ideas and driving projects into production. She joins RED from Hera Pictures, where she was head of development and originated and developed the returning series Temple, and previously served as development executive of drama for Channel 4.

Sarah Doole, CEO of RED, to whom Dunbar will report, said: “Chloe is an exceptional operator with brilliant editorial judgment, strong industry relationships, and a thorough understanding of the television market here in the U.K. and internationally. She adds to this a great track record in growing high-end, boldly original drama projects, which fits perfectly with RED’s ambition. Having started her career publicizing RED’s output, I’m particularly thrilled that Chloe will be returning to us to develop our next generation of hit shows.”

Dunbar added: “Some of my most formative and exhilarating experiences of drama were forged on the sets of RED shows in my earlier career. To me, it is a company that has always been synonymous with exceptional writing, utter boldness and vision, so I couldn’t be more excited to be joining Sarah and the team as they create this ambitious next chapter in RED’s history and develop a new raft of distinctive and memorable series with the very best drama talent around.”
