Carrie Stein, executive VP for global production at Entertainment One Television (eOne TV), has resigned and will exit the company at the end of June.

Sources here at the LA Screenings have told C21 the details of Stein’s departure, described as “amicable”, after five years at the global production and distribution company.

After her exit from eOne on June 30, Stein will continue as an exec producer on around a dozen international coproduction projects that she has put together.

They include Havana Quartet, the crime series being adapted from the books by Cuban novelist Leonardo Padura that is in development for US cablenet Starz. Stein will also continue exec producing Gaddafi, a copro with Rome-based Palomar and Italian writer Roberto Saviano about the former Libyan dictator.

Stein arrived at eOne TV in 2012 as exec VP of global production, reporting to CEO John Morayniss. However, in 2015, the company drafted in former Fox Television Studios exec Pancho Mansfield as president of global scripted programming and Stein then reported to him, a move that may have contributed to her departure.

During Stein’s tenure at eOne, she packaged numerous high-profile dramas. They include Book of Negroes for BET and CBC and Welcome to Sweden, which ran for two seasons on NBC and TV4.

This year alone, she has four new international coproductions on air: Ransom (CBS, TF1, Vox and Global TV); Cardinal (CTV and Super Écran); Mary Kills People (Global TV, Lifetime); and UK comedy Gap Year (E4).

Prior to joining eOne in 2012, Stein was MD of 3 Arts International, a division of 3 Arts Entertainment; and CEO of Alchemy Television, the UK-based company behind Flashpoint and Ben Hur. Prior to that, she ran the longform packaging department at talent agency ICM for 11 years.
