Disney TV Leadership Shuffle: Smith Takes Full DTC Oversight, Schrier Moves to Production Pact

Disney is enacting further changes within its top television ranks, with Adam Smith now assuming complete oversight of direct-to-consumer operations. This move sees Eric Schrier transition from his previous role as head of international originals to a new production pact.

These leadership adjustments are part of a broader restructuring within Disney's TV divisions. Smith's appointment as Chairman of Direct-to-Consumer, Disney Entertainment, follows a period where he and Joe Earley shared co-presidency of the division. Earley will now move to a new role as President of Television Franchise & Content Strategy within Disney Entertainment Television.
