Amazon MGM Studios is reorganizing its Worldbuilding Series team, whatever that is. (OK, it’s genre TV on a large scale, like Lord of the Rings.) As part of the restructuring, Matthew King and Adrienne O’Riain are departing.

It’s a reorg of a reorg, basically. In January, Peter Friedlander shook things up via the formation of genre-based teams for both development and current programming. Those would be: 1) Drama and Comedy, 2) Worldbuilding (i.e., fantasy, sci-fi, etc.), 3) Animation and 4) Unscripted. At the time, Laura Lancaster and Nick Pepper left and were replaced by Jenn Levy (Unscripted) and Melissa Wolfe (Animation); Blair Fetter joined Amazon MGM to lead the Worldbuilding team. This is Fetter’s rebuild, an attempt to “operate with a flatter, more streamlined structure,” he wrote in a memo to staff (obtained by The Hollywood Reporter).
