BBC Natural History Boss Exiting To Take Up New Role At NHU
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: The BBC‘s natural history chief is swapping commissioning for program-making by taking up a newly-created role at the fabled BBC Studios Natural History Unit (NHU).
Sreya Biswas, whose credits include Planet Earth III, Asia and Kingdom, will become NHU Director of Programmes over the summer.
She will continue to deliver BBC projects for the next few months and details on her replacement will come in due course. Reporting into NHU head Jonny Keeling and working closely with vet Creative Director Mike Gunton, she will be tasked with delivering commissioned titles from the NHU slate and developing a portfolio of new shows for the BBC and beyond.
Biswas will join after a three-year stint as Head of Commissioning for Natural History at the BBC, during which time she has worked across blue-chips including Planet Earth III and Blue Planet III, along with lighter-touch fare like Big Cats 24/7 and Hamza’s Hidden Wild Isles.
