Sarah Fell has been named director of original series, kids EMEA and will be responsible for overseeing the development and production of all Turner Kids series across the region.

This includes the recently-greenlit Elliott From Earth, which has The Amazing World of Gumball director Mic Graves serving as creative director.

Fell will also be tasked with finding and developing new talent and ideas into content that can play out across Turner Kids platforms in the region.

She reports to Patricia Hidalgo, chief content officer, Turner EMEA and international kids strategy, who said the expanded role would help “bring more of our EMEA-made content to the forefront.”

Fell joined Turner in 2011 as producer of The Amazing World of Gumball, which is now in its sixth season. She also oversaw production of The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe, as well as Turner EMEA’s first Boomerang original series The Happos Family.

She started her production career at Aardman Animation, where she worked for seven years on numerous productions including Planet Sketch, Big Jeff and Timmy Time.
