BBC The BBC has a new comedy head.
Chris Sussman, formerly director of scripted series at Netflix U.K. and prior to that head of comedy at BBC Studios, has rejoined the broadcaster as its director of comedy, where he’ll be responsible for leading what the BBC says is the “U.K.s largest generator of original British scripted comedy.”
Sussman replaces Jon Petrie, who in June announced he would be stepping down after five years in the role to join Hat Trick Productions as its new creative director.
