With an experience spanning 30 years, Conway joins from the renowned StudioCanal-owned U.K. TV banner Red Production company, where she was head of production. Prior to Red, she worked as a freelance producer on shows such as Danny Brocklehurst’s “Brassic,” Daragh Carville’s “The Bay,” Mike Bullen’s “Cold Feet” and Reggie Yates’ “Make Me Famous.”
“The appointment of Margaret Conway to the role of head of physical production for StudioCanal TV marks an important moment in our evolution as a TV studio,” said Kennedy. “We want broadcasters, platforms, and other partners to know that we are officially structuring our studio for growth and for the long term. Starting with physical production, we are creating reliable structures and consistency in our approach to execution — regardless of territory — so that our partners will know what to expect when we embark on an ambitious series together.”
Emmanuel Jacquelin, who currently oversees physical production for StudioCanal TV’s French series, will report to Conway effective from July 1st.
StudioCanal is currently in post-production on three series, including Urban Myth’s “Paris Has Fallen,” adapted from the hit “Has Fallen” action film franchise, “Families Likes Ours,” Thomas Vinterberg’s first project since his Oscar-winning feature “Another Round,” and the James Norton-starring “Playing Nice.”
