M-K Kennedy commented: “The appointment of Margaret Conway to the role of Head of Physical Production for Studiocanal TV marks an important moment in our evolution as a TV studio. We want broadcasters, platforms, and other partners to know that we are officially structuring our studio for growth and for the long term. Starting with Physical Production, we are creating reliable structures and consistency in our approach to execution – regardless of territory – so that our partners will know what to expect when we embark on an ambitious series together.”
