‘Industry’ Producer Jane Tranter on How Late James Gandolfini Friendship Changed Her Career: ‘First Time I Had Someone Who Was on My Side’


Bad Wolf exec Jane Tranter defends diversification, talent development: ‘We should not be making American stories for the rest of our careers.’

Speaking at Canneseries, Bad Wolf founder Jane Tranter — whose credits include hits from “Doctor Who” to “Succession” — recalled how her creative collaboration turned friendship with late “Sopranos” star James Gandolfini changed her career. Of course, fostering a sustainable, driving industry heavily depends on talent development and availability, and the producer is particularly proud of having a classroom within the Bad Wolf studios to tend to this very need. Speaking of looking ahead, Tranter praised her partnership with British playwright Peter Straughan, who is currently working with Bad Wolf on an adaptation of Philip Kerr’s bestselling book series “Berlin Noir” for Apple TV+.
