He will report to OP\u2019s president, Jeff Hasler. Lovett was part of the original team that created <em>Deadliest Catch<\/em>, working on the show from its inception as a three-part special originally known as <em>America\u2019s Deadliest Season: Alaskan Crab Fishing<\/em>. Lovett held multiple positions on the series, including field producer and writer. He also held a senior role as a series producer for <em>Monster Garage<\/em> and was the showrunner on <em>Lobster Wars<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Lovett has more than 20 years of experience in creating, producing and directing unscripted programming. Most recently, he served as the VP of production and development for National Geographic Studios. His recent credits include executive producing <em>Chain of Command<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more pleased to welcome Brian back as we embark on a new chapter of OP,\u201d said Hasler. \u201cHis breadth of experience in creating cutting-edge, compelling documentary series, combined with his distinctive creative and visual storytelling skills, make him the perfect addition to help build a vibrant pipeline that consistently delivers the highest level of quality for our partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lovett added, \u201cI\u2019m ecstatic to be back at Original Productions. There\u2019s no better home for me than at a company known for making the boldest of choices and a relentless desire to push all storytelling genres forward. I couldn\u2019t agree more with that passionate vision, and re-joining forces with Jeff to continue making the most authentic and striking documentary content makes this an opportunity that I can\u2019t wait to begin.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FremantleMedia\u2019s Original Productions (OP) has hired industry veteran Brian Lovett to serve as its executive VP of production and development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":11575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[326,2966],"class_list":["post-11574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-fremantlemedia","tag-original-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Brian Lovett Returns to Original Productions - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/brian-lovett-returns-to-original-productions\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Brian Lovett Returns to Original Productions - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"FremantleMedia\u2019s Original Productions (OP) has hired industry veteran Brian Lovett to serve as its executive VP of production and development.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/brian-lovett-returns-to-original-productions\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-08-30T12:30:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-08-30T12:45:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/BrianLovett-OriginalProductions-818.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/brian-lovett-returns-to-original-productions\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/brian-lovett-returns-to-original-productions\/\",\"name\":\"Brian Lovett Returns to Original Productions - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2018-08-30T12:30:44+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-08-30T12:45:01+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/brian-lovett-returns-to-original-productions\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/brian-lovett-returns-to-original-productions\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/brian-lovett-returns-to-original-productions\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Brian Lovett Returns to Original Productions\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
