DAVID NEVINS

Nevins is a chieftain for Hollywoodbased TV programs and TV media, after a September promotion amid a broader reorganization. He is in charge of scripted TV programs, putting him in the thick of the video streaming wars to bolster Paramount +, given originals such as franchise extensions of “Star Trek” are crucial for attracting subscribers. Nevins reaches into the Paramount Pictures studio film library developing new TV series based on “Flashdance,” “Grease,” and “Urban Cowboy.” He also has broad oversight of Showtime Networks and BET. Nevins joined in 2010, previously working as an Emmy Award-winning producer and network programming executive.
