She works out of the EPIX Los Angeles office at MGM\u2019s headquarters. Cotton will be in charge of development and production of all scripted original series, working in partnership with Wright to advance EPIX\u2019s position as a destination for premium, award-winning programming that complements its slate of movies from leading studios. Cotton joins EPIX from David Heyman\u2019s Heyday TV USA. From 2007 to 2016, Cotton was senior VP of creative affairs at Fox 21 Television Studios.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve known and had the pleasure of working with Nancy on many projects over the years, and she is one of the most skilled television executives in the business,\u201d said Wright. \u201cHer taste, experience and talent relationships are first rate and a huge addition to our team. We are fortunate to have Nancy join EPIX at a time when the network is rapidly expanding, both its original programming and its distribution platforms, and her ability to attract and nurture great content will be vital to our growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cotton added, \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be working with Michael and the team at\u00a0EPIX to continue to build the network into a choice destination for creative talent. EPIX has a powerful reach that presents an incredible opportunity for fresh, compelling storytelling, and I\u2019m beyond excited to hit the ground running.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry veteran Nancy Cotton has been appointed as the executive VP of original programming at EPIX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":8550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[301,1665],"class_list":["post-8549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-epix","tag-nancy-cotton"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>EPIX Taps Fox 21 Television Studios, Heyday Alum Nancy Cotton - TVUSA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Industry veteran Nancy Cotton has been appointed as the executive VP of original programming at EPIX.\" \/>\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\/tvusa\/epix-taps-fox-21-television-studios-heyday-alum-nancy-cotton\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"EPIX Taps Fox 21 Television Studios, Heyday Alum Nancy Cotton - TVUSA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Industry veteran Nancy Cotton has been appointed as the executive VP of original programming at EPIX.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/epix-taps-fox-21-television-studios-heyday-alum-nancy-cotton\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVUSA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-02-21T17:10:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-02-21T17:16:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2018\/02\/NancyCotton-EPIX-218-e1519233250675.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"498\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"445\" \/>\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\/tvusa\/epix-taps-fox-21-television-studios-heyday-alum-nancy-cotton\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/epix-taps-fox-21-television-studios-heyday-alum-nancy-cotton\/\",\"name\":\"EPIX Taps Fox 21 Television Studios, Heyday Alum Nancy Cotton - TVUSA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2018-02-21T17:10:46+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-02-21T17:16:47+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"description\":\"Industry veteran Nancy Cotton has been appointed as the executive VP of original programming at EPIX.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/epix-taps-fox-21-television-studios-heyday-alum-nancy-cotton\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/epix-taps-fox-21-television-studios-heyday-alum-nancy-cotton\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/epix-taps-fox-21-television-studios-heyday-alum-nancy-cotton\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"EPIX Taps Fox 21 Television Studios, Heyday Alum Nancy Cotton\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/\",\"name\":\"TVUSA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
