Michael Wright will take over as CEO at DreamWorks in January 2015 following the departure of Stacey Snider for her likely next job at Fox.

Wright currently serves as president and head of programming at TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies and got to know DreamWorks co-founder Steven Spielberg through TNT’s relationship with Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment.

The new hire has no experience in features and will work alongside president and COO Jeff Small, production president Holly Bario and producer Kristie Macosko Krieger.

Wright will have no involvement with Amblin Entertainment, which will remain a separate company.
