FremantleMedia North America (FMNA) has appointed its first president of scripted entertainment following the recent departure of its co-CEO.

Dante Di Loreto

Dante Di Loreto will be joining the American Gods producer on June 1 in the newly created role overseeing FMNA’s scripted output.

It follows the announcement earlier this month that Craig Cegielski, co-CEO of FMNA since 2015, was leaving the company following a restructure.

Reporting to FMNA CEO Jennifer Mullin, Di Loreto will develop new series for the firm’s pipeline and add to its catalogue of international dramas.

These include The Young Pope (HBO), Hard Sun (BBC), Picnic at Hanging Rock (Foxtel) and My Brilliant Friend (HBO/Rai).

Di Loreto, who left his role as president of television at Chernin Entertainment last year, has produced dramas including Glee and American Horror Story.

“Dante’s reputation speaks for itself. He has a keen eye for developing and producing some of the most stunning scripted entertainment of our time,” said Mullin.
