Changes at the top for Apple TV+

The head of current programming and unscripted at Apple is set to leave the company after the tech giant launched its streaming service Apple TV+.

Kim Rozenfeld

Kim Rozenfeld’s exit comes amid a rejig at Apple by studio bosses Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht, who have brought its development and current units under one single-executive structure.

The news was first reported by Deadline.

Rozenfeld will exit the role, with Apple TV+ head of scripted development Matt Cherniss now also overseeing current scripted series.

Molly Thompson, who joined Apple as head of documentaries in April, will continue to oversee documentary film and series programming, development and current.

Rozenfeld will return to independent production and exits with a first-look deal at Apple for his company Half Full Productions.

Former ABC exec Rozenfeld was one of the first hires as part of Apple’s TV drive, having joined from Sony Pictures Television, where he worked with Van Amburg and Erlicht.

Apple TV+ launched on November 1 and recently renewed four of its originals – The Morning Show, Dickinson, See and For All Mankind – for second seasons.
