20th Century Fox Television Taps Legendary Alum for Comedy Role

Former Legendary Television executive Edwin Chung is joining 20th Century Fox Television as VP of comedy development.

Chung begins his new role immediately, and he reports to Cheryl Dolins, senior VP of comedy development. At Legendary Television, Chung built and oversaw the current series department for the studio, working on such shows as Love and Lost in Space for Netflix, Colony for USA, Carnival Row for Amazon and Looming Tower for Hulu. He previously worked within NBC’s comedy development department, ultimately serving as senior VP of comedy programming and current primetime series.

“We are thrilled to welcome Edwin to our comedy team at 20th,” commented Dolins. “His taste is impeccable as are his relationships around town, so we think he’s the perfect fit to fill out our ranks as we head into the busiest time of year. I also have a shorthand with Edwin dating back to working together at NBC, so getting him for the studio is an all-around win.”
