Dunford is charged with leading the indie’s expanded development team and overseeing the crime and specialist factual slates.

Dunford, who joined Woodcut eight years ago as a junior exec in the development department, has contributed to the commissioning of dozens of series and specials, including World’s Most Dangerous Prisoners.

Season one (10×60′) of World’s Most Dangerous Prisoners premiered on Paramount-owned Channel 5 in the UK and streamer Paramount+ last year.

The second and third seasons (20×60′) will be distributed by FilmRise in the US under the title World’s Most Evil Prisoners. Woodcut International will distribute the complete series globally.

Overseen by showrunner Emma Griffiths, the new seasons are exec produced by Woodcut Media’s founder and CEO Kate Beale, Woodcut International’s commercial director and MD Koulla Anastasi, and FilmRise’s co-founder and CEO Danny Fisher and head of content Jonitha Keymoore.
