EXCLUSIVE: Season 5 COO Tim Robinson has left the company dismissal producer after four years.
Robinson, a former CEO of Shine Group and Avalon, joined the fifth season in 2018. The Brit worked from his LA base but recently left.
Robinson is well respected and loved by Fifth Season, formerly known as Endeavor Content. He played a key role in the company’s sale to South Korean powerhouse CJ ENM last year and its subsequent rebranding to the new identity. CJ ENM bought 80% of Season 5 for $785 million while Endeavor kept the other 20%.
The departure is believed to be amicable and Robinson will explore new options.
Among his responsibilities at the Fifth Season, Robinson worked to explore new opportunities after CJ’s investment. He also oversaw corporate affairs, human resources, finance, production, the music and live teams, business development, operations, infrastructure, talent development, creative partnership integration and investments.
Deadline assumes that its duties are currently performed internally.
Robinson joined The Fifth Season in late 2018 after previously serving as COO of talent management Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Production Company Avalon. Prior to that, he was interim COO at Vertical Networks, Elisabeth Murdoch’s digital content company. Prior to that he was COO of Murdoch’s Shine Group and held senior positions at Metronome, 2waytraffic and Celador International.
The fifth season is behind shows like Severance, See, Killing Eve, The Night Manager, Tokyo Vice and normal people and upcoming projects like that of Alma Har’el lady in the lake with Natalie Portman for Apple and Alice Hart’s Lost Flowers, Amazon’s first Australian original starring Sigourney Weaver. His films include The Prodigal Daughter, Cha Cha Real Smooth and Tom Bradys 80 for Brady.
In October, the company promoted TV executives Joe Hipps, Todd Sharp and Prentiss Fraser, a month after the rebrand. Chris Rice and Graham Taylor are the company’s co-chief executives.
Endeavor content was created in 2017 from the production, sales and distribution resources of Endeavour, WME and IMG.
