Samar Akrouk to Replace Christina Wayne as Managing Director of Saudi-Owned MBC Studios
Veteran MBC exec Samar Akrouk will replace U.S. producer Christina Wayne as managing director of the Saudi-based MBC Studios.
“She will be managing the entity’s mission to leverage the ongoing trend for non-English-language television content to reach more global markets,” a statement from MBC reads. Wayne, who early in her career served as senior VP of scripted programming at AMC where she helped develop “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad,” joined MBC Studios as chief in February 2023. “There’s no doubt that our region, especially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is in the spotlight, drawing considerable interest from leading international production studios focused on creating world-class content.”
