Claudia Eller Co-Editor-in-ChiefThe changing of the legacy guard in Hollywood continues in a business focused on prioritizing content for streaming customers.Last week, we learned that seasoned studio chief Jim Gianopulos, who for decades has been shepherding big, successful theatrical movies, was being pushed out after four years as chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures in favor of a digital-leaning leader known for purveying lower-cost content aimed at younger consumers.While the abrupt move shocked many inside and outside Paramount — rumor had it that at some point production chief Emma Watts might succeed Gianopulos — it was unsurprising to learn whom his ViacomCBS bosses Bob Bakish and Shari Redstone selected to replace him.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaJannat Gargi has been named senior vice president and head of documentaries at Westbrook, where she will be tasked with making non-fiction features and premium series. She joins the media company from Vice Studios, where she most recently held the role of vice president of documentaries.

The transition plan for Paramount Pictures is officially set, with ViacomCBS confirming Jim Gianopulos will exit and Brian Robbins will add leadership of the studio to his growing portfolio.

As Nickelodeon CEO Brian Bobbins prepares to take over Paramount Pictures from Jim Gianopulos, the film studio’s television division Paramount TV Studios will move under the purview of Showtime CEO David Nevins, Deadline has confirmed.

David Nevins, longtime Showtime chief, is poised to take on oversight of Paramount Television as the studio undergoes a restructuring and leadership change as Brian Robbins takes the reins as studio chief.The shakeup means that Robbins will not oversee TV production for the studio as did his predecessor Jim Gianopulos, sources close the situation said. Reps for ViacomCBS did not immediately return calls for comment.

When is a staffing announcement not a staffing announcement? When it suggests a major shift in the way we consume media, that’s when. While most personnel decisions never rise above the industry trades, the recent news that Paramount was moving on from CEO Jim Gianopulos and replacing him with Nickelodeon executive Brian Robbins sent minor shockwaves through the industry for what it means in the ongoing streaming-versus-theatrical debate.

In November 2018, Paramount Pictures boss Jim Gianopulos revealed a major new initiative for then-parent Viacom: a multi-picture deal with Netflix. “Our priority is to expand our role as a major global content supplier,” Gianopulos said.

Deadline has confirmed that Jim Gianopulos is leaving Paramount as Chairman and CEO. There was a report in the Wall Street Journal this morning. It is reported that Brian Robbins, the head of ViacomCBS Inc.’s Nickelodeon kids TV empire, will take over Gianopulos’ position as the head of Paramount Pictures.
