EXCLUSIVE: Chris Brearton is stepping down from Amazon, 18 months after taking on a new role. Brearton has been VP, PVS Corporate Strategy, MGM+ and MGM Alternative Television since November 2022.

I want to recognize the work of Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Jon Glickman, who came before me, and I will always be honored to have had the chance to lead MGM alongside Mark Burnett, Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy. This success was demonstrated through the Lion’s robust and compelling film slate, the re-launch of Orion Pictures, the expansive prowess of television group that is responsible for producing beloved and award programs across nearly every network and platform, and the recent launch of MGM+, creating a global home for Leo and over a century of great entertainment.
