Fox finds Andreae alternative

US broadcaster Fox has poached an exec from production outfit Electus as its chief of alternative entertainment after moving incumbent Simon Andreae to a production position.

Corie Henson becomes exec VP of alternative entertainment, replacing Andreae, who only took over from Mike Darnell just over a year ago but was behind the decision to order reality show Utopia, which was axed in November.

Henson will report to David Madden, Fox Entertainment president, and oversee the network’s slate of unscripted programming and specials, as well as leading development efforts to expand unscripted.

She was most recently exec VP of unscripted at Electus, where she oversaw Running Wild with Bear Grylls. She was previously VP of alternative series at ABC Entertainment, working on shows such as Dancing With the Stars and Shark Tank.
