ViacomCBS Consolidates Nickelodeon, Awesomeness Live-Action Production

ViacomCBS’s Kids & Family division is consolidating all of its live-action production under one team, the company announced Tuesday.
The team, led by Nick executives Shauna Phelan and Zack Olin, will oversee development, current series and studio content for both the Nickelodeon and Awesomeness brands. Syrinthia Studer will continue in her role overseeing the combined live-action film studio. All three report to ViacomCBS Kids & Family president Brian Robbins.
The move to streamline the division’s live-action operations comes as Shelley Zimmerman, executive vice president of live-action for Awesomeness, has opted stepped down from her position and exit the company after nearly six years.
Current live-action series at Nick include the “All That” revival, the “Henry Danger” spinoff “Danger Force” and Tyler Perry’s “Young Dylan,” among others. Recent live-action series from Awesomeness include “PEN15” and “Light as a Feather” at Hulu and the two-season drama “Trinkets” at Netflix.
