Fox Entertainment Drama Development SVP Mary Ann Wolf Departs
Mary Ann Wolf is leaving her position as Senior Vice President of Drama Development and Current at Fox Entertainment, the network confirmed today.
Wolf’s departure comes after more than two and a half years at Fox, where she reported to EVP and Head of Drama Brooke Bowman. The role will be filled by a yet-to-be-named successor. This move comes as networks continue to refine their development slates heading into the new television season.
A veteran of broadcast television, Wolf has held drama development and current programming roles at all four major networks. She began her career at NBC in 2000, rising to VP Drama Development and Current Programming before moving to ABC in 2015. She later held positions at CBS and returned to ABC before joining Fox Entertainment in March 2023. Her extensive experience makes her a highly sought-after executive in the industry, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Wolf’s departure is part of a broader trend of executive shifts within the entertainment industry as companies adapt to the evolving media landscape; you can learn more about these shifts here. Fox Entertainment has not commented on the reasons for Wolf’s exit, but stated they wish her well in her future endeavors.
Officials at Fox Entertainment have initiated a search for Wolf’s replacement and expect to announce a new SVP in the coming weeks.
