For the last two years, London Redman has lead drama development for Warner Bros. TV after Warner Horizon TV, where she was EVP, Scripted Programming, was merged with its sibling.

She joined Warner Bros. in 2010, having previously worked in drama development at CBS Studios, where she worked on The Good Wife, Hawaii Five-0 and 90210.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Leigh Redman to Berlanti Productions as our new President of Television. We have had the great fortune to work with Leigh throughout her tenure at Warner Brothers Television and Warner Horizon,” said Berlanti and Schechter. “Leigh was instrumental in developing You and The Flight Attendant among many others. She is smart, talented, kind and respected by talent and executives alike. Her story sense and intelligence is first rate. We are thrilled to get to work with her even more closely and continue to build our slate with her by our side.”

London Redman added, “During my tenure at WBTV it has been my privilege to work closely with Greg, Sarah and the Berlanti team on many shows including You, The Flight Attendant and the upcoming Dead Boy Detectives and Girls on the Bus. Sarah and Greg have a keen understanding of how to make content that contributes to the cultural conversation in a meaningful way while simultaneously being highly entertaining.”

“I’m beyond excited and honored to be joining Berlanti Productions in this new capacity and to get the opportunity to work alongside a roster of talented showrunners, writers, directors and crew that I have admired for such a long time.  I’m also very grateful that, as I start this new chapter, I will also be able to continue to work with my WBTV family.  I am incredibly grateful to Channing Dungey, Brett Paul, Clancy Collins White and everyone at WBTV for their support and friendship. I am excited to continue learning and growing alongside the best in the business in this new role,” she added.
