Kary McHoul has been upped from senior VP of programming and development, unscripted, a position in which she has led the effort to expand the network’s slate. Freeform has increased its scripted original programming footprint this year to four nights per week, adding 20 more hours of originals.

McHoul created Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings franchise, set to air this summer, as well as several holiday specials including Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic. She is also responsible for Freeform’s first shortform talkshow, Movie Night with Karlie Kloss, currently airing on the network.

Before joining Freeform, the exec helped form Nigel Lythgoe Productions, built a non-scripted programming department at United Talent Agency and served as head of development for the E! and Style networks.

She will continue to report to Karey Burke, executive VP of programming and development at Freeform.
