As Apple continues its original TV and movie efforts, the company has hired another executive from Sony Pictures TV Studios. Chris Parnell is leaving his co-president post at Sony to join the Apple TV+ team in a senior role.
Reported by Variety, Parnell will be working in his new senior position at Apple TV+ on original series development.
Notably, Apple TV heads Jamie Ehrlicht and Zack Van Amburg left Sony back in 2017 to lead Apple’s worldwide programming efforts. Parnell coming on board reunites the three at Apple.
Apple TV+ is plugging along with the most recent major project in the works being a Will Smith action thriller that Apple acquired for over $100 million.
