Foxtel installs head of drama

Australian pay TV platform Foxtel has promoted one of its senior executives to the newly created role of head of drama.

Penny Win was commissioning editor for drama as well as group channel manager of Foxtel’s SoHo and Showcase. There’s no word yet on who will take charge of those two channels.

Foxtel invests more than A$20m (US$18.6m) per year in original Australian drama under the 10% quota applying to drama channels.

Win commissioned and was an executive producer on Matchbox Pictures’ Devil’s Playground, which premieres on September 9 on Showcase.

She also greenlit Deadline Gallipoli, which stars Sam Worthington and was produced by Matchbox and the actor’s production company Full Clip, to air in 2015; and The Kettering Incident, an eight-part mystery drama now shooting in Tasmania, coproduced by writer/producer Vicki Madden’s Sweet Potato Films and Porchlight Films.
