EXCLUSIVE: Marc Lorber, SVP International TV Co-Productions and Acquisitions at Lionsgate, is leaving the studio after nearly a decade.
Lorber joined Lionsgate in 2013 and assumed his current role in 2019 where he led a team focused on identifying scripted TV dramas, miniseries and comedies for co-development or production around the world.
He has worked on projects including a BAFTA-winning comedy hometown, BBC Wales drama The Bund and Irish-Belgian co-production northern lights, which the deadline revealed Lionsgate started in October. Lorber forged ties with international networks at a time when the appeal of non-US content was soaring, and he was also aware of the deal with BBC Studios which produced adaptations of the likes of B. This country and ghosts remade in the usa.
He left the company amicably on December 31 and has yet to decide on his next career move.
Previous employers include HBO Central Europe, where he was SVP and executive producer, original programming and production, Marvista Entertainment and Sony Pictures TV International.
His move comes at a time of change for Lionsgate, which is splitting its studio from Starz and will soon close light gas Streamer Lionsgate+ from Germany, Italy, Benelux, Japan, France, Spain and Scandinavia.
News of Lorber’s departure comes a day after Lionsgate announced that Superna Kalle, president of Starz International, is leaving the company and will be replaced by Darren Nielson at the helm of Lionsgate+ International.
