Jessie Henderson, president of Paul Feig’s Feigco Entertainment, is joining WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service as executive vice-president of original feature films.
Her appointment confirms the streaming service’s intent to produce original features.
Henderson will lead the development and production of a slate of original feature films for the service, with projects aimed at audience segments ranging from children and family, through teens and young adults, to adults.
