Wagner, a veteran production and casting executive, was most recently executive in charge of production on celebrity gameshow Barmageddon (USA Network), A Very Boy Band Holiday (ABC) and Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3 (Amazon). She was also previously director of unscripted production at MGM Television.

Judkins joins White Label from Netflix where she served as manager of physical production for unscripted series, working on projects including Selling Sunset, Queer Eye, Rust to Riches, Love is Blind and Car Masters. Prior to that she was production manager at All3Media America, working on shows such as Deep Creek and Second Wives Club.

Over the past year, White Label has produced Miss Universe 2021 in Israel for Fox, A Very Boy Band Holiday for ABC and Savage X Fenty Show for Amazon Prime Video, among others.

Both of the new appointments will report to founder and CEO Chris Wagner.

According to White Label, it has tripled its staff since 2021 due to increased production output, the launch of a post-production company and facility, and consultancy work for networks during the pandemic.

“Stephanie and Katie are seasoned, well-respected producers and we’re thrilled to leverage their industry acumen and relationships with our network, studio and digital partners,” said Chris Wagner.

“Both executives will be integral to White Label’s success over the next year as we rapidly expand our global operations and post-production footprint.”
