Disney Ups Exec for Unscripted & Alternative Entertainment

Tiffany Faigus is taking on an expanded role as senior VP of unscripted and alternative entertainment at ABC Entertainment and Walt Disney Television Unscripted.

Faigus will be working to identify new ideas and concepts for series, collaborating with the creative community as well as new and existing talent, and supervising creative production on unscripted series and pilots.

For the newly formed unscripted unit at Walt Disney Television, Faigus will be responsible for increasing the output and inventory of owned and distributed unscripted programming across all platforms, as well as expanding the production unit’s team.

“Tiffany has been my right hand in expanding our unscripted slate at ABC, and I couldn’t be happier for her to do so as we grow the business across Walt Disney Television,” said Rob Mills, executive VP of unscripted and alternative entertainment at Walt Disney Television, to whom Faigus reports. “Her deep roots in production and her strong relationships within the company and industry make her the perfect person to further the company’s success in unscripted programming across the multiplatform landscape.”

“It has been the most amazing experience and privilege to work alongside Rob for the last six years. He is truly one of the most genuine executives and human beings in our business,” said Faigus. “I am also grateful to Dana Walden and Craig Erwich for the opportunity. I look forward to creating more groundbreaking unscripted and alternative television in my newly expanded role, not only for ABC but for our direct-to-consumer business.”
