Jacqueline Sacerio and Gabriel Marano

Entertainment One (eOne) has promoted Jacqueline Sacerio and Gabriel Marano to co-heads of scripted TV development in the US.

Reporting to eOne president of global scripted TV Pancho Mansfield, the execs will have oversight of all the company’s scripted development efforts in the US.

Sacerio, who joined eOne in 2015 after spending nearly eight years as a literary agent at CAA, manages its roster of first-look and overall deals. She also oversees various TV projects set up with streamers and networks, including Showtime survival drama Yellowjackets and Freeform’s Cruel Summer, both of which she developed and spearheaded internally.

Marano, who joined eOne last year after previously serving as senior VP of drama programming and development at Fox, oversees the development of Hasbro IP including the adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons and the Power Rangers series from Jonathan Entwistle and Jenny Klein. He also oversees other non-Hasbro scripted titles for eOne.

Mansfield said: “Although they each have their own distinct style, both Jackie and Gabe have excelled at developing strong relationships and guiding storytellers to deliver their very best work.

“I’m so pleased by the energy and commitment they’ve brought to our slate of projects, including unique stories from our partners as well as from Hasbro’s deep library of IP.”
