Catalina Content Appoints SVP of Content

The Sky Studios company Catalina Content has hired executive producer Deborah Allen (Snapped, Vengeance) to be its new senior VP of content.

Leading Catalina’s current slate, Allen will supervise production and support the creative development of existing shows, including Snapped: Notorious (Oxygen), The Killer Truth (HLN, HBO Max), Storm of Suspicion (The Weather Channel), Sins of the City (TV One) and Vengeance (HLN), as well as an unannounced series for Animal Planet. She will report directly to Catalina President Jeff Collins.

Allen has produced more than 750 hours of nonfiction programming for a variety of networks, including Oxygen, A&E, Investigation Discovery, National Geographic and History Channel. She joins Catalina from Jupiter Entertainment, where she served as VP of programming.

Jeff Collins said: “Allen’s impressive experience in unscripted storytelling, underscored by her track record of launching a slew of successful hit franchises, is an obvious draw. Bringing her on board is cornerstone to our expansion of the West Coast creative team.”
