The restructured Fox Entertainment division is taking shape as Hannah Pillemer has been named head of scripted entertainment and Allison Wallach has been named head of unscripted entertainment.

Fernando Szew, president and head of Fox Entertainment Studios, made the announcement on Wednesday morning, saying in a statement: “It is an honor to work with Hannah and Allison as we shape the future of the new Fox Entertainment Studios.” They are both incredibly talented creative leaders with strong business acumen and a global perspective who will catapult our ability to create unexpected, memorable original scripted and unscripted content that will define the Fox brand going forward.”

He continued, “I am energized and grateful to work with these incredible leaders, the teams they build and the relationships they continue to foster across the global creative community.”

Pillemer previously served as EVP of creative and production at Fox subsidiary MarVista Entertainment.
