It’s official – Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios, will also oversee MGM, the venerable film and TV studio, which was acquired by Amazon earlier this year for $8.5 billion.

Mike Hopkins, SVP, Prime Video and Amazon Studios, just made the announcement internally in a memo.

“With Jen now having oversight of both studios – along with distribution and all creative marketing – creatives will have a single point of entry for the opportunity to showcase their content across all our platforms.”.

In his new role, Brearton, who has been shepherding MGM’s integration into Prime Video and Amazon Studios, will lead business planning and corporate strategy for Prime Video and Studios.

The expansion of Salke’s responsibilities was expected, and it was indirectly signaled earlier today when one of her direct reports, Head of Television Vernon Sanders, unveiled the MGM scripted TV leadership which reports into him.

Still TBD is a new film head for MGM who will be reporting to her.

As previously reported, Sanders will continue to run Amazon television and will now have oversight of scripted MGM television, led by Lindsay Sloane and Rola Bauer.

Amazon Studios’ newly appointed marketing head Sue Kroll will add MGM to her purview, and MGM’s chief marketing officer Stephen Bruno will now report to her.

Brad Beale’s content licensing remit will now include MGM, with Chris Ottinger, MGM’s head of worldwide distribution and acquisition, now reporting to Beale.

Prime Video is coming off the Season 1 run of its biggest Amazon Studios series to date, LOTR: The Rings of Power.

Salke has been Head of Amazon Studios since February 2018.
