Kevin Plunkett Joins Wolf Entertainment As Head Of Development

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: Veteran creative executive Kevin Plunkett has joined Wolf Entertainment as EVP Development. Reporting to the company’s COO Peter Jankowski, he will oversee scripted development, working closely with the executive teams at Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, where the company is based.

This marks the first time Wolf Entertainment has had a dedicated senior development executive since Danielle Gelber held the EVP position from 2011-16.

The move comes as Wolf Entertainment is starting to expand its scripted portfolio beyond broadcast into streaming with Law & Order: Organized Crime moving to Peacock and the company’s first original streaming series, On Call, debuting on Prime Video. “Kevin’s experience working with the highest levels of streamers, networks and independent production companies will be a tremendous asset to Wolf Entertainment as we continue to develop content for all platforms now and in the future,” Jankowski said.

Plunkett has held senior positions at Jigsaw, New Regency, E! Entertainment, ABC Studios and ABC Network. He most recently executive produced the Creator Classic for Pro Shop Studios that brought 16 of the most popular golf influencers to the PGA Tour Championship at East Lake Gold Club in Atlanta this past August.
