Jennifer Salke Steps Down As Head Of Amazon MGM Studios, Segues To Producing With First-Look Deal


Jennifer Salke is stepping down as head of Amazon MGM Studios after seven years. The news was just shared with staff in a memo by Mike Hopkins, which you can read below. She is segueing to a first-look producing deal with the studio. Salke will not be replaced, with Vernon Sanders on the TV side […]

As a result, Jen will step down from her role as Head of Amazon MGM Studios in order to start a new production entity, and we’re so pleased that she’ll continue to make her home right here on our lot via an overall first-look deal across both film and TV. The Rings of Power, Fallout, Reacher, Red One, Maxton Hall, The Idea of You, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Saltburn, Road House, Beast Games, Culpa Mia/Tuya and others speak to the hits under her leadership that have stirred cultural conversation and delivered incredible storytelling to worldwide audiences…and that list covers only the past 18 months. I’m immensely proud of the momentum our team at studios has built over past 12-18 months, executing against our strategic plan and developing a fantastic slate of original shows and films that position us for even more success ahead.
