See-Saw Films has appointed Fifth Season executive Ben Irving as joint managing director alongside Simon Gillis, while Helen Gregory is leaving after five years, according to Deadline’s report.
Irving joins the producer of Apple TV’s Slow Horses from Fifth Season, where he served as creative director for international scripted and launched its UK development and production division in 2022.
His prior roles include acting director of drama at the BBC, where Deadline reports he oversaw primetime drama output and executive produced series including His Dark Materials, Industry, The Capture, Doctor Who and the final season of Happy Valley.
