Disney Taps ‘Love Island’ Boss Angela Jain For Expanded European Content Chief Role
Disney+ has tapped Angela Jain, director of unscripted at ITV Studios, for the newly created role of head of content, EMEA.
Jain will effectively replace Liam Keelan, who stepped down in October last year, though her role is more senior, and Disney has switched reporting lines as part of efforts to boost international originals. Jain, a straight-talking, well-liked executive, has been linked with a string of major content roles in recent years, with her journey to Disney marking a return to commissioning following spells at UK youth channels E4 and ITV2. During her time as a commissioner, she greenlit series including Misfits; The Inbetweeners, which spawned two movies; and Deadset, a drama about a zombie apocalypse in the Big Brother house from Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker.
