Disney Exec Eric Schrier Quits DTC Post to Pursue Producing Venture
Eric Schrier, a 26-year Disney/FX veteran and former president of Direct-to-Consumer International Originals, Strategic Programming and Emerging Media, is stepping down from his executive post to launch a producing partnership with Disney Entertainment Television. He will work across divisions—FX, Hulu/Disney+, and 20th Television—under a developing producing arrangement, following Disney’s leadership reshuffle that elevated Adam Smith and Joe Earley and signals a return to his creative roots.
