Rola Bauer to Exit Amazon MGM Studios Post as Head of Pan English Global Original Series
International TV veteran Rola Bauer is stepping down as Amazon MGM Studios' head of English-language global original series produced outside the U.S.

Among the notable series projects that Bauer’s team has assembled for Amazon Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios are “Harlan Coben’s Lazarus” starring Sam Claflin and Bill Nighy; “Haven,” toplined by “Game of Thrones” alum Sophie Turner; comedy series “Quarter Life,” led by Riz Ahmed; and “The Girlfriend,” starring Robin Wright, who also directs, and Olivia Cooke.
