Pantheon Media Group Hires ‘Love Island USA’ EP Simon Thomas From ITV As Head Of Creative
Exclusive: Simon Thomas, executive producer of Love Island USA, is leaving ITV America to join Pantheon Media Group.
Thomas, who had been with the company for nearly ten years, and was most recently President of the ITV Entertainment label and Head of International Programming, will become Head of Creative at Pantheon.
It’s a loss for ITV, given that Thomas has shepherded its hit dating format, which broke through with its sixth season on Peacock.
He will report to Jennifer O’Connell, who at the end of last year, was named CEO of Endeavor-backed Pantheon, alongside Steve Michaels as Chairman, in addition to running Velvet Hammer Media alongside Rebecca Quinn.
Thomas will work across Pantheon’s labels, which include Film 45, Done+Dusted, and Texas Crew Productions, and will be focused on global formats.
O’Connell told Deadline that “this sends a message that Pantheon is in the formats game”.
