As it grows its roster of young adult and comedy series, Amazon MGM Studios is bringing on an executive to shepherd those shows beyond their first seasons.

Alex Weinberger has joined the studio as head of YA and comedy ongoing series. She and her team will take on oversight of shows including the upcoming Cruel Intentions update and We Were Liars, along with Motorheads, Off Campus, Every Year After, Overcompensating and other series as they move into possible second seasons (though not all of those titles have been formally greenlit for second seasons). Weinberger will report to Laura Lancaster, head of co-prod television and ongoing series at Amazon MGM Studios.

Weinberger has an extensive track record in working with ongoing series. She spent 21 years at Disney, including time as a senior current programming executive for ABC Studios. During that time she had exclusive oversight of several Shondaland series, including Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, Private Practice and Station 19. She also led comedy series development and current at ABC Studios predecessor Touchstone Television and began her career in ABC’s current programming department.

Prior to joining Amazon MGM, Weinberger was a producer and creative consultant on Dear Media’s female empowerment podcast Coming in Hot.
