Expectation Taps Sky Exec for Comedy

Expectation has appointed Morwenna Gordon, former commissioning editor at Sky, as executive producer in scripted.

Gordon joins Expectation’s comedy division to work alongside Nerys Evans, creative director of comedy. As commissioning editor at Sky for the last four years, Gordon has been responsible for commissioning and executive producing original scripted comedies for Sky One, Sky Atlantic and Sky Arts. Her recent credits include Tim Minchin’s Upright, Sarah Kendall’s Frayed, Bounty Hunters with Jack Whitehall, The Queen and I with David Walliams and the forthcoming shows Code 404, Intelligence and Two Weeks to Live.

Evans said: “I’m delighted that Morwenna is joining us at Expectation, I’ve loved making Intelligence for her and Sky and found her to be a really collaborative and creative commissioner. Morwenna’s got fantastic comedy instincts and she is so well respected in the industry. It’s a real coup to get her to join us and I can’t wait to see what shows we make together next.”

Gordon said: “Having already set the bar high in the scripted space with the likes of In My Skin and Guilt, this is a really exciting time to be working with Nerys and the hugely talented team at Expectation.

“I’ve loved my time at Sky and count myself lucky to have worked on such a strong slate of shows with some of the best creatives in the industry, but I’m now ready to take on a new challenge. Expectation is a young, creative and ambitious company making world-class TV, and I can’t wait to join them on their journey.”
