deadline.com:

Longtime CBS Studios development executive Bryan Seabury is expanding his role, adding head of content strategy, along with his current oversight of drama development, to his purview.

In addition to continuing to lead drama development, Seabury’s expanded EVP role will include overseeing content strategy with an emphasis on franchise building and leveraging and identifying new and existing IP across broadcast, streaming and other emerging media.

He’ll continue to implement strategic roadmaps for the Studio’s producer and pod deals, and now collaborate across departments and divisions to find innovative opportunities for storytellers. “Bryan’s visionary leadership, creative sensibilities and deep understanding of an ever-changing industry have made him one of the most highly respected executives in town,” said David Stapf, president of CBS Studios, to whom Seabury reports. “His innate ability to grow successful franchises and source new IP, while also shepherding the artistic integrity of a writer’s projects from the first pitch to a successful series is truly unmatched.

And Bryan’s exceptional reputation within the creative community is only outdone by how beloved he is internally as a leader, peer and mentor, making him an immeasurable asset to our Studio, Company and all those who are lucky enough to work with him.” Titles and franchises that Seabury and his team have developed and shepherded include this year’s breakout series Matlock.
